Simply extend the tip section until it stops, align the guides to the tip top guide and repeat with all sections. To collapse the telescopic fishing rod to its travel rod length, start at the bottom of the rod and collapse each section with a simple twist as you work your way to the tip of the fishing rod.

When it's time to hit the road or trail, the newly designed, KastKing BlackHawk II Telescopic fishing rod is the perfect companion. Game changing design and innovation makes the BlackHawk II the easiest, fastest and most convenient way to travel to go fishing with your favorite spinning rod or casting rod. You'll never again feel as if you don't have space to take a spinning or casting fishing rod with you because the BlackHawk II packs down to only about 21" in overall length (depending on style) fits easily in your backpack, briefcase, bicycle, boat or car.
The secret of these travel rods is our revolutionary Soloscopic Performance Technology with multiple float guides which improves casting performance, delivers a smooth and consistent taper and eliminates flat or dead spots. Snug-Fit ferrules deliver full length power transition and the KastFlex Technology with Toray 24-Ton Carbon Matrix blank and new solid glass tip section delivers durability, power and strength.
The amazing Floating Guide System will allow you to expand or contract the rod in seconds. KastKing used the perfect combination of fixed and floating guides to allow these rods to retract to a fraction of their working length while still providing better casting control, line presentation and to handle powerful fish and you'll never have to remove line from the guides again so you're always ready to fish as soon as you hit the water.
KastKing BlackHawk II is not only convenient; this is truly a performance telescopic fishing pole. KastKing made them with high modulus, 24-ton Toray carbon fiber blanks which are strong yet sensitive. KastKing’s unique design allows these rods to perform and feel like your favorite 1- or 2-piece fishing rod. The new solid glass tip section provides durability and strength. There are 14 different lengths and actions available in the KastKing BlackHawk II series so there is telescopic fishing pole that will be right for your situation no matter where you are fishing.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The durability has recently been improved by making the top section out of solid fiberglass (think of the famous "Ugly Stick" and its nearly unbreakable construction). And, to further help with durability, the rod comes with a unique cover that protects the rod when in the retracted position, making it safe to put in your daypack, backpack, car trunk, etc.
Traditionally, good "pack rods" in the US have been made in multiple pieces, with the old-school telescopic rods not being all that good. This has changed with the advent of newer rod materials. In other parts of the world, telescopic rods are now extremely popular and well respected as serious fishing tools. This KastKing is an example of that new breed of telescopic rod. The action is far better than that of a five-piece pack rod, and it's lighter, as well.
Best of all is the price! I think this rod is a great value.
One of the most notable features of the Blackhawk II rods is their telescopic design. These rods can be collapsed down to a very compact size, making them easy to transport and store. This is especially useful for anglers who like to travel or who don't have a lot of storage space for their fishing gear. When fully extended, the Blackhawk II rods are just as strong and durable as traditional one-piece rods.
Another great feature of the Blackhawk II rods is their versatility. These rods are available in a variety of lengths and power ratings, so there is a Blackhawk II rod to suit almost any fishing style. Whether you're targeting small panfish or big game fish, there is a Blackhawk II rod that will work for you. The rods are also designed to be used with a variety of fishing lines, from light monofilament to heavy braided lines.
The Blackhawk II rods are also built to be strong and durable. The blank is made from high-quality graphite, which provides excellent sensitivity and strength. The guides are made from stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. The reel seat is also made from high-quality materials, ensuring that your reel will stay securely attached to the rod.
One thing to note about the Blackhawk II rods is that they do have a bit of a learning curve. Because they are telescopic, they may take some getting used to if you're used to traditional one-piece rods. However, once you get the hang of them, they are a joy to use. The telescopic design allows you to cast with precision and accuracy, and the sensitivity of the graphite blank allows you to feel every bite.
In terms of price, the Blackhawk II rods are very affordable. They are priced competitively with other telescopic rods on the market, but they offer better quality and performance than many other options. If you're on a budget but still want a high-quality fishing rod, the Blackhawk II series is definitely worth considering.
Overall, the KastKing Blackhawk II Telescopic Fishing Rods are an excellent choice for anglers who want a compact, portable rod without sacrificing performance. These rods are versatile, strong, and affordable, making them a great option for both beginners and experienced anglers alike. If you're in the market for a new fishing rod, the Blackhawk II series is definitely worth checking out.
Much nicer quality than the other travel rods you typically see here on Amazon from the likes of Plusinno or other manufacturers like that. I would expect as much, as KastKing has delivered a ton of value to my fishing and my son's. We're big fans of their reels and fishing accessories as they're always a good price and perform well--we'll try anything they make. This is out first rod from them.
Nice lightweight graphite feel and EVA handle pieces are well positioned and sized. Reel seat can get nice and tight and doesn't slip. The eyelets are bigger and look more high quality (stainless?) than my other travel rods and the guard they provide to protect them during travel feels robust.
Only concern, that I have yet to vet, is that because this is longer than your typical 6'6" rod (I got the 7'0"), it may not fit as well in a suitcase or in a rod holder on a backpack. You can see in my photo that when setup, the real will set above the buckle on my KastKing sling back, wheres with a more compact travel rod the reel would sit secured between the buckle and the rod pocket. Not a deal breaker, but need to make sure it stays put if carried at an angle or take the reel off for longer hikes to the water.
All that said, the longer length does means longer casting so the travel issues might be well worth it. Will be beach fishing with this in May and can't wait to try it out!
