That’s one serious MEGA brother! With handline would be a challenge...

Hi Jason,
I and surely others too, have spare rod/reel you can use.
If you seriously going to look for big red landbased, I and/or others can lend you one combo.
Pick the right time and place, with a lot of luck to get that big red.

I haven't used the jarvis walker telescopic rod before, the one I have the the shimano eclipse lumo which is alright but I certainly wouldn't take it over my regular two-pieces. Telescopic rods aren't that strong especially against a big red, and you have to take good care of them otherwise the telescopic parts of the rod can fall out and are buggery to repair. It's good for travel situations but i'd save the money and invest in a good quality 2-3 piece rod that will last longer. If storage is an issue, 4+ piece travel rods are pretty good as well.

What are the specs of your 2 piece rod? You could buy a cheap 6ft rod tube from dinga which would make it easier to transport and would stop you spending more money on a cheap telescopic rod
