Float fishing

[BF60]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent telescopic rod for float fishing?
All replies greatly appreciated.

Not really sure about telescopic rods as never used them, a travel spinning/lure rod would be what I’d be looking at before telescopic. Seen some 4piece ones in a travel tube/case that could be worth a look.

I have got one of these, the rod and reel are pretty decent but the bits and bobs that came with it mostly went in the bin.

No idea about telescopics but can recommend the Shimano STC range of 4 piece rods

I used a telescopic rod when I first started fish here, it was my lucky rod, for down the side of the piers, but I am sure they are much better made now, but if I was going to a rod for float fishing, I would go a four piece rod.

I use the 10 and 11 foot Leeda icon feeder rod , found that they can handle a hard fighting mullet, but the light and easy to travel with

Thanks very much for all your replies. I have a feeder rod I think I'll give it a try.

Telescopic rods are the norm down here for nearly all but the serious beach fisher. They god to huge length too 6m+ depending on the purpose. Most of these rods are really quite cheap at around 30 -40€ for a decent one. If it was me and I was doing the odd stint of float fishing I would buy a really cheap one. I am using a 9ft 2 pc spinning rod to float fish and it does the job fine but a rod that was a little bit heavier would be better for lifting fish up. I am actually about to buy a tele for ledgering/floating but I won't be spending much.
