Currently I'm running two 7'-6" bass pro rods, a 7' st. croix jerk bait rod, and two 8' muskie innovations rods. I've been wanting to phase out my 7'-6" rods and replace them with 9-10 footers. The biggest rod I can travel with easily is an 8 footer though. Does anyone have any suggestions on a quality 9-10' telescoping rod? I generally stick with rods 200$ and less for budgets sake but would take any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Okuma's 9'3" telescopes down to about 7'9" i believe, I can't fit an 8 foot rod in my car and it fits.

The Okuma is what I'd recommend as well.

Take a LOOK at TACKLE INDUSTRIES rods, They are 8'6" - 9' they come with removeable handles that will go down to 8' for storage. They are 1 piece rods that are light weight and balanced and one of best value rods with high end features on the market today, take a LOOK.

You can't go wrong with the Tackle Industries rod. I have nothing but good things to say about those rods!

I have an Okuma 8"6" telescoping rod, and I love it. It's a little on the heavy end, but you get use to it. Quality rod for a very reasonable price.
