Great for River Mouths, Estuaries, Lakes, and Coastal Edges
This 1.8m Telescopic Spinning Rod is a compact and reliable option for anglers who need easy storage without losing performance. It packs down small, sets up fast, and offers a smooth feel thanks to quality components. Because it is lightweight and easy to handle, this rod suits beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Why This Rod Works So Well
This 1.8 metre fishing rod delivers smooth casting due to its polished guide rings. These rings cut friction on your line, reducing strain and helping prevent break-offs during a fight. The EVA foam grip also provides strong control, even with wet hands, so you can cast with confidence.
The strength of this rod comes from layered carbon fibre. This structure keeps the rod light and thin while still holding up under load. Its narrow design cuts through the air easily, helping you cast further with less effort.
Where This 1.8m Rod Is Best Used
- Perfect for lakes, rivers, and estuaries.
- Great for trout, kahawai, smaller snapper, and general light-tackle fishing.
- Ideal for wharf fishing, rock hopping, and travel when space is limited.
- Excellent choice for backpacks, camping trips, and glove-box storage.
Recommended Reel Size
- 1000 reel: Best if you want a lightweight setup. It balances perfectly on this rod and helps reduce fatigue during long casting sessions.
- 2000 reel: Offers slightly more power and line capacity. This makes it useful when you expect longer runs or stronger fish.
Both reel sizes work extremely well with this rod. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a lighter feel (1000) or a little extra pulling strength (2000).
