Looking around for a crankbait rod...I tend to like the extra length to my rods and found a 7'11 telescopic rod by american rodsmiths. Confused about a telescopic rod can anyone with expirience using one shed some light for me as to the advantages and disavantages.  Thanks alot!

Most telescopic rods have one telescoping section between the foregrip and the first eye.  If you have limited length in your rod locker they are great since they are usually about a foot shorter while folded up.  Most are a bit heavier than 1 piece rods and some people believe they are less sensitive.  If you have the space, I would go with a 1 piece rod, but if not, telescopic is the next best thing.
