I'll check it out, I would rather spend a bit more than buy a crap rod. From what I read telescopic snap easily, so probably go with a 2 piece.

I was leaning towards a telescopic rod because I can put it in my backpack and ride my bike through the inlands. I'm sure there is tons of bait shops, but didn't want to pay more for something I could get myself. I do computing, and can say buying parts at a store is always overpriced than buying online. I didn't know if that was true for the fishing world. Anyway, I plan to buy some hooks and shrimp as bait, and see what happens. Thanks for the info..

I want to start getting into fishing, but have no knowledge or experience on the subject. I'm moving to Tampa in a week, and want to do stream/river/Lake fishing. I don't have any plans to do saltwater fishing as of yet. With that being said, what 's a good rod and size? I was planning on getting this rod, but Idk what size to get. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DP2VE22/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467836999&sr=8-2&refinements=p_72:2661618011&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=telescopic+rods&th=1&psc=1
