Goture//Telescopic Tenkara Fishing Rod//Ultralight Travel Fishing Rod,Portable Collapsible Bass Crappie Rod,1 Piece Carbon Fiber Inshore Stream Trout Pole 10 12 15 18 21 24 Free Tip Set(Top 3 Segment)

the Red Fox 360 is a little longer than expected which is great. the handle could be a bit longer but the texture of the wrapping helps with grip and comfortable. the 3 extra tips are an added plus which contributed to my purchase initially. I use this pole for catching sardines with either 2lb or 4lb line and the Lilian is nice but could be half an inch longer. the sensitivity is great for even the slightest bites and the fight of a 3 inch sardine is amazing on this pole. I added a strip of pool noodle with weed eater line inserted to wrap line on when transporting it gives the pole flotation when needing to work on the tip extended when wading. I have caught 5 dozen or more sardines and small bait fish on it in one week and it is equal to another pole I paid $55 for last year. only time will tell how long the tips last before breaking as is common with carbon rods of the price range. Goture could do a better job of description bot I am pleased with this pole, for less than $30 I would recommend this pole for fish up to 12 inches with very light tippet and size 14 - 20 hooks. can't wait for a chance to use it on trout some day in streams in Montana and Wyoming for brookies and rainbow on a dry fly

I used two of the 24 ft. Goture 720 GOLDLITE, Black rods for the “V” supports of my homebrew Portable 20M Delta Loop Antenna. I used only 11 of the rod sections making each of the rods telescope to 20’-6” long.SWR is very good on both the 20M Band and the low end of the 10M Band. I tested this antenna only on 20M. Using my 100W HF radio in my shed with a battery, I made 39 SSB contacts one afternoon (58/59 Signal Reports from CO., MO. [20W Station], IL., AL., LA., CA., Manitoba CAN., PA. Mobile, WI., TN., SC., North FL., NM., IN., MD., OH., KY., VA, El Paso, TX., FL., Ontario CAN., MN, [3W QRP Station], IA., Vermont [mobile] and NY.).While this antenna is designed to be resonant on 20M (14.2 MHz with 1.52:1 SWR), the SWR is even better on the low end of the 10M Band (1.23:1 at 28.2 MHz). I’ve only tested it on 20M so far but this should be an easily portable HF antenna for POTA excursions. It worked superbly well on 20M and actually should work even better at the low end of the 10M Band without a Tuner.The feed point Balun is my homebrew 4:1 Transformer/Choke Balun. The two FT-140-43 toroids (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178IABXW/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) are in an 83mm x 53mm x 33mm Junction Box (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JJ2MPT8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1). They are bifilar wound as two 1:1 Choke Baluns connected together to make a 4:1 Transformer/Choke Balun – (i.e., a smaller version of the M0PZT design). The antenna wire is ~65.8’ of POLYS-22. For testing I simply used Electrical Tape to attach the wire to the outside edges of the carbon fiber fishing rods and a small Zip Tie (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01018DB2E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) at each of the two rod tips.1st Photo is the two Goture 720 telescoping fishing rods in their cases, the boom assembly (all glued) from left to right is 1” PVC 45° Elbow-1” x 6” PVC-1” PVC Tee- 1” x 6” PVC-1” PVC 45° Elbow and my homebrew 4:1 Balun. When assembled for operation, the two 1” x 8” PVC pieces are stuck into the open ends of the 1” PVC Elbows and the 8” pipes hold the large ends of the fishing rods. I used a 1” x 5’ piece of 1” PVC as the mast putting the bottom part of the “V” at about 5’ and the top part of the “V’ at about 25’.The 2nd Photo is the antenna as it was set up for testing (a 1” x 5’ PVC pipe “mast” was duct taped to a T-Post). The extra wire seen below the tips of the fishing rods in that photo is part of my homebrew 585’ Loop Skywire antenna in the background.The 3rd photo is my Antenna Analyzer displaying the antenna’s SWR Chart for the 20M Band.The 4th photo is the Antenna Analyzer displaying the antenna’s SWR Chart for most of the Ham Bands (note that the antenna’s SWR Minimum is at 1.23:1 SWR at 28.2 MHz on the 10M Band).These are great rods for supporting Amateur Radio antennas.

This is a very nice Tenkara pole for a fisherman new to the Tenkara style of fishing. I got the 21 ft model to use for large mouth bass fishing. It comes in a nice self contained tube and has an extra tip with the short string to attach your line. It is all carbon fiber and weighs only 8.7 oz. You can take this system anywhere , take the supplied top cap off, attach your line and lure and start catching fish, if there are any in the water you are fishing in. The rod is very flexible, yet it handled the 4 lb bass I caught easily. The system comes in nine lengths, so there is one for almost any need. It is fun to attach a jig to 10 ft of line and move it around in front of a fish and watch the fish hit the jig. It is a fun fight on a rod this long. On a small trout stream you can just reach across and use it like a fly rod, but you can be really precise with your lure placement. The finish is excellent. Take care when putting it away to start with the largest section first , otherwise you will be taking it apart to get all the sections back in sequence.
