Thousands of these rods have been purchased by anglers across the world. With the introduction of the new generation BX’s, Shimano succeeded in further improving fishing for travellers. The rods have a new stylish and effective Vibraspot reel seat, multi-length and optional balance weights are just a few of the upgrades.

Anyway – we carried on fishing for a while, friend with broken shorter rod, me with full rod, but it just wasn’t right. It was at least 40 minutes back to the car and I cursed having not put a spare rod in my bag – especially as I had 2 perfect spare telescopic fishing rods sitting at home. They only weigh a small amount and take up next to no room. Would have been an easy fix. Eventually we gave up and headed for home early.

True Story – this happened to me just 4 days ago! I highly recommend sticking a spare telescopic fishing rod in your kit, even if its only as a back up to your usual non-telescopic fishing rod.
