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.
