Hey there! I'm looking for a compact and lightweight rod to take with me while hiking and backpacking. It will be used almost certainly only for panfish, most likely catch and release. This is something that will probably be used only a dozen times a year, so I'd prefer to spend less that 50 dollars. I'd also like it to fit either inside a backpack, or comfortably attach to it.

Thanks!

Look at the Eagle Claw Pack-It rods. They offer telescoping and 4-piece versions. Pair with a small used spinning reel and you're easily under $50.
