Product Information

Full details

The NGT Profiler Compact Telescopic Combo is an ideal solution for mobile anglers, backpackers, and those who need a reliable, space-saving fishing setup ready for spontaneous sessions. This all-black, 5-foot rod and reel set offers excellent portability by collapsing down to just 31cm, making it easy to store in car trunks or travel bags. While it is perfect for light lure fishing and stalking, users should note that its compact design is best suited for light-to-medium work and may lack the backbone required for hauling in significantly heavy game fish.

FAQs

What is the total collapsed length?

The rod collapses down to 31cm, making it extremely easy to pack for travel.

Can I use this for saltwater fishing?

While it can be used, ensure you rinse the rod and reel thoroughly with fresh water after every session to prevent corrosion.

What is the recommended lure weight?

The rod is rated for a casting weight of 10g-30g.

Does the combo come ready to fish?

The combo includes the rod and reel in a padded case; you will need to add your preferred fishing line, terminal tackle, and lures.

How do I ensure the rod stays extended?

The telescopic sections rely on friction fit. Ensure each section is pulled out firmly until it seats securely before casting.

Troubleshooting

Rod sections are stuck and won't collapse

Do not use excessive force. Try tapping the base of the rod lightly or use a dry silicone lubricant spray at the joints to help loosen the section.

Line tangling in the guides

Ensure all rod sections are fully extended and that the guides are perfectly aligned in a straight line.

Reel feels loose on the rod

Check the reel seat hood and tighten the locking ring until the reel is firmly secured to the rod handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely compact size for easy storage
Lightweight and ideal for long-distance travel
Quick setup time for spontaneous fishing
Includes a protective padded carry case

Cons

Not intended for heavy-duty or deep-sea fishing
Telescopic rods require careful handling to avoid jamming

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the combo, gently pull each telescopic section out until it clicks or seats firmly in place, starting from the tip. Always ensure the line guides are perfectly aligned in a straight line down the rod spine. When collapsing, release the tension by carefully pushing the sections back together starting from the bottom, ensuring they do not jam. After use, rinse the rod with fresh water if used in saltwater environments to prevent corrosion on the reel seat and eyes. Regularly inspect the telescopic joints for grit or sand, as debris can cause the sections to become stuck or scratch the finish. Store the combo inside the provided padded case when not in use.
