Looking for Telescopic Bass Rod

[Drakestar]

I'm looking for a decent telescopic bass rod for my son to take on his bike/in his backpack. Under $100, heavy duty pond fishing, but ideally it's a serviceable bass rod (Medium power, probably). Does anybody have any leads on these? I can find cheap and dubious Chinese offerings on Amazon, I used to have some good telescopic rods growing up in Europe (and I might import). But does anybody know of a US-available rod that would fit the job description?

The Daiwa B.B.B. is available in 6-6 and 6-10 models. They are under $200, if you can find them. I've seem them on ebay and Amazon in the past. Aliexpress would be another option for something cheaper, but still decent quality. I got a 66MLF 2 pc spinning rod from there recently that was way above my expectations.

Thanks for the tip. I'd ordered one and it took a while to get here, but it finally got delivered today. Looks like a fun rod! A bit funky with how big the reel nut and handle are, and a bit slow, but it feels like a proper carbon bass rod! Will see how it fishes, and how sensitive it is.

The 610 is a little faster than the 66. My buddy loves the 66 and sold the 610. He likes that they are a Daiwa regular taper, as they are much more versatile than a fast taper rod. Most collapsible rods are very stif and only the two has any action or give.
