The fact that I placed the word fun and finesse in the same sentence made it that more difficult to find a travel rod that fits the bill. I came across a very highly regard telescopic by Daiwa, the BBB series or the Triple Bs depending who reviews it, that are of high quality as well in somewhat the same price range but it tends to dubbed itself more of a bass rod with very strong back bone. Nothing wrong with that except I’ve been so accustomed being part of the “ultralight” or the “finesse” part of fishing scenes for so long I still want that feel in a rod even though it’s a multi-joint one. And so far with just a few minutes of using it casting flie-drop shot and 1/32 oz jig head it was pretty close to being a light rating rod instead of ML (they don’t make L or UL ). The tip diameter is almost as small as a UL trout rod as well….

Hello again, my final takes on this Nissin Fabulous 7 feet telescope rod are as follows…first the negatives: the rod is heavy for a JDM -priced rod. I only have the Tict R-Finesse to compare with because of the length..5’9” @ 2.23 oz (63g) vs the Fabulous 7’ @ 115 grams , but the Tict is a ultralight and not ML. The other complaint would be the guides (9 total) are not marked so lining up takes some time, but with a Sharpie I took care of that. Other than that the rod fishes well for its price point. It’s not as limber but once hook on a 6” bluegill it has a nice bend. It cast mico cranks and 1/32 jighead to 50feet with ease. It’s also sturdy ,( no rattle) once jointed properly does give a “1-piece” rod feel. Hope you’ll like the pictures from this morning outing just before southern Nevada hit triple digit at 8am!!

Glad to hear you like it. That kind of rod seems to be quite handy. Sure would be the one to use while wading remote creeks. Of course me wading remote creeks was over about 7 years back….LOL.

WOW is right! That is a well manicured/landscaped fishin hole for sure. Even has light posts and trash cans right on the banks. LVS, you must be living right!

Thanks for the kind words and yes places like this make living in the desert more bearable. Behind the bushes and tree is Boulder City municipal golf course , a veteran cemetery, and a private small-planes runway not too far from the park. So the city of Boulder City, NV do impose stringent rules of keeping the grasses and trees needly trimmed to blend in with these supposedly important surroundings.

Randy the Nissin rod is a very good multi purpose rod indeed. In hand I feel like it can handle fish in the 10 to 20 pound range and I have no reason not to believe…it says on the box: line 4-12lb. However I love using it with 2000 shimano reel and under 6lb test, so truth be told it probably will see more pier (always wanted to fish in Florida), ponds, and lake more than creek hopping…lol. Here’s a few pic of fishes caught in such environments….
….Of course these were California species.
