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.
