Spinning rod for backpacking

[PFUNK]

I am in the market for a spinning rod that I can pack in for a back country camping trip this summer. If you have one that you like I'd love to hear about it. Looking at 3 or 4 piece spinning rods in light or medium light action. Was hoping to find one around $50 or less if possible. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the replies. Definitely have a few things to check out now. I've always been leery about getting telescopic rods though. I have heard they have very little sensitivity but they sure do seem compact and convenient.

I have had a 6'6" St.Croix 4 piece travel rod for about 12 years and it is a nice rod and the feel is pretty similar to my 1 piece rods. It breaks down to carry backpacking. I think it is a Triumph model.

2nd the st croix. I've had mine for about 10 yrs. Nice and breaks down easy.
