Packable fishing rod on the cheap?
syoungs:
Looking to pick up a couple packable trout rods, without spending a bunch of money. Maybe 30-70$ per rod.
Just want them for random pack trips, and to leave under the seat of the truck for some opportunistic fishing.
Anyone have any recommendations for something that works well? In my head a 5 piece rod is better then a telescoping rod, but that's just a lightly educated guess

I've got an ugly stick gx2 that I always keep in my truck, just in case. Good rod.

Do you have the 5' or one of the 2 6' versions?
I was looking into that one, thinking I'd go with the 5' as it's a little lighter action.

Amazon has some $40-$80 range.
