Just get a 3-5 piece rod. They're more durable than a telescopic
Dunno if anyone can remember but I bought a 5 piece a while back. Clean snapped in half pulling in an average size squid. The model has been discontinued (go figure) and I got a bcf voucher as compensation, in which I got the rrp price rather than the sale price I paid for :a_goodjob:

Can you remember what brand/model it was?
You must've hooked a monsta kraken to break a rod in half!
