EOW XPEDITE PRO Portable Telescopic Casting and Spinning Fishing Rods, 24T Carbon Blanks & Solid Carbon Tip, Cork Handle, Travel Rod, Short Collapsible Rods

I've been using this rod for just under a year, I've had 0 problems with it and I typically fish for largemouth bass and have caught at least 6 on this rod with no issues or breakage. It is very nice to keep in my cars trunk as it takes up very little space since the rod retracts down to less than 18 inches. It is also extremely light and has high sensitivity.

The media could not be loaded. I was planning a multi-week National Park vacation to the mountains in western United States and Canada and looking for an ideal rod for me and the family to take along on long hikes. My goal was to have something small, sturdy, and quality, but not be out a lot of money if it got broken. Our target fishing was mostly trout in out of the way streams or rivers in Glacier NP, Yellowstone, Tetons, and Idaho. I’m an avid fisherman, and prefer solid graphite rods versus two-piece or telescoping especially for trout and bass. After researching I came across the these rods and decided for the price I’d give it a shot. I purchased a 6ft and 7ft to try on my local Smallmouth streams first. The feel of the rods was good with the cork handle, but a little less sensitive of course than I’m used to (Note the rods say they are targeted for 8 lb -14lb test on the rod specs). That said, I wanted to use lighter line so I set the 6ft with a Shimano and 7ft with a Daiwa reel both with 4lb Berkley Trilene Smooth casting line. On first two trips I caught several small smallmouth , and one nice ~16inch small mouth (pictured). The rod did great, nothing broken or stressed even with that fish, so figured it was ready for the vacation trip.The size was nice and packed down well to about 17 inches in size. It packed perfectly in the outside loops of my Dakine Heli-Pro snowboarding backpack (pictured) or in my kids backpacks which could zip. I preferred the outside so I could protect the tip and reel from getting smashed by other gear, and I always kept the plastic protector over it when hiking. I even did some rough off trail hiking down into back country in Idaho and Montana though chest tall brush and had no trouble with anything breaking.As far as ease of use, once you get to your destination you can have it unpacked and ready to go in about a minute. I generally had best luck leaving a small snap swivel hooked to my rod, and when arriving taking off the plastic tip cover, and extending rod from bottom thicker extensions first and gradually working towards the top being careful especially with the last 2 extensions so they don’t break and are lined up.Overall these rods were perfect for what I was looking for. They caught over 40 trout, a northern pike, several smallmouth and panfish since we’ve had them (over three months). Most importantly they gave me more opportunity to fish on our vacation by being sturdy and packable for the hikes, and a great price! Definitely recommend!

We reeled in this 40lb Needle Fish off the coast of Costa Rica with this rod. It handled the fish beautifully, was light weight enough for my kid to use and enjoy, and compact enough to travel with. I had this on a Penn Slammer 3500 with 30lb braid to 30lb Fluoro.My only issue and concern is with maintenance. The other telescopic rods I own all have a cap at the base I can screw off to rinse out any debris trapped on the inside of the telescopic rod. This one does not allow for that. However the build quality is excellent and for the price, hard to beat IMO.

I'm really impressed with the quality of this fishing rod. You can immediately tell it's made from high-quality materials, and the overall build feels solid and durable in your hands. The compactness of the design is a huge plus, making it incredibly easy to pack up and travel with, whether you're hiking to a remote spot or just want to keep a rod in your car. I also had no issues at all connecting my reel; it seated perfectly and securely. It's a fantastic, well-made rod that's perfect for on-the-go fishing.

Great rod for the price, keep it in my car just incase I want to fish after work and man did it pay off. I’ve caught legal California halibut and plenty of spotted bay bass. Bought back in feb 2025, it’s now August 2025 and the base is falling off but a little glue will fix it. Please sponsor me!!!

Broke on the first day I used it. Hiked in to ADK and caught a fish using 10LB test and the pole snapped. I have caught way bigger fish on a $10.00 Walmart Darango pole. Pole looks really nice but can't land anything except for small brook trout.

I have the Xpedite Pro and the lite. The Pro Is the one I prefer as I don't need a really sensitive tip throwing spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. Both are nice rods and its nice to always have two rods in my truck. Stick them in the seatback pocket and they are out of the way and less likely to get damaged.

I bought this 7-8 weight telescopic rod (and 400 Penn spin reel) to fit in my small checked luggage when I went on a recent Alaskan cruise. I was hoping to catch King salmon from small pier near shore but realized the rod might not be strong enough. The rod was a little stiff & took some getting used to but worked fine & as luck would have it I caught a near 40 lb King salmon with it. The rod held up & the reel helped a lot. Don't know how long it will take abuse but it worked for me. Photo attached
