The choice of a telescopic or travel rod is usually guided by casting weight and rod length. For lighter fishing, like perch or trout, a rod with a casting weight of 5-15g and a length up to 7’ is recommended. For all-round fishing, such as perch, zander, or sea trout, a rod with a casting weight of 10-40g and a length around 7-9’ works well. A telescopic rod is very easy to set up, while a travel rod offers slightly better feel and durability.

Rod action

Are you a beginner looking for a new rod?
Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.

More about rod actions
Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:

  • Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
  • Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
  • Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
  • Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
  • Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.

Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.

Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.

Handle type
