Telescopic surf fishing rods - Are less segments better?

+0
−0

I am looking for a telescopic surf fishing rod of about 14 feet length & lure weight up to 250grams/8oz.

Is it better if a telescopic surf rod has less segments or does it not matter ?

This one is 14ft, 4 segments & 6 guides This one is 14 ft, 7 segments & 6 guides - This one (from an obscure USA company) is 14ft, 4 segments, 5 guides

Like most things its a tradeoff.

More segments,

  • Smaller collapsible size,
  • More eyelets to run the string through
  • Can be more expensive.

Fewer segments,

  • Fewer parts to break
  • Fewer weak joints

I know for sure that more segments in a fly fishing rod make for a better one.
