The bottom line Four metres in a 45 cm package is the most extreme transport figure in the corpus — buy it for the rucksack, the holiday or the child.
What the maker puts in writing
Length: 4 m
Transport length: 45 cm
Blank: glass fibre, stated to be very light
The figure that has no rival in this corpus
45 cm. The shortest-packing rod anywhere else on this site is a telescopic carp rod at 67 cm, and the Daiwa pole on this same shelf packs to 110 cm.
Four metres of pole that fits inside a rucksack is a different object from a pole that needs a car.
What that costs
Sections. A 4 m pole in 45 cm lengths needs a lot of them, and the listing does not say how many. Each joint is a place where grit sits and a section binds, which makes the end-of-season routine — extend, clean, dry open — more important here than on a two-piece rod.
Where it can be bought
Confirmed in Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain; absent from the United States. Germany 19,59 €, Spain 36,36 €, Italy 36,66 €, France 36,71 €.
Availability
Read on the day this page was built: 20 € at the German Amazon shop.
Kept out of the range: the French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops sat above 1.6× the cheapest country, and that multiple usually means stock forwarded from abroad rather than a seller on the ground.
Catalogued and unsold: the British Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

Questions that come in about this one
How can 4 m pack to 45 cm?
By having many short sections. The listing does not give the count, but the arithmetic is unavoidable — and each joint is a place where grit collects and a section can stick.
Is it a serious fishing pole?
The maker sells it for quick trips, for children and for geocaching. At 4 m it reaches as far as any 4 m pole; what is not published is the weight, and on glass fibre at 4 m that figure matters.
Why is it so much cheaper in Germany?
Prices are each store’s own: 19,59 € in Germany against 36,36 € in Spain, 36,66 € in Italy and 36,71 € in France. The page prints all four rather than averaging them.
Who this one is for
A pole carried in a rucksack, a holiday pole, or a child’s first pole
