DAM 66279 review

A telescopic 100–250 g rod at thirty-three euros, which is the cheapest route to a beach.

The bottom line Thirty-three euros is the cheapest route to a beach, and telescopic means it lives in a small car — those two facts are the whole case.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Length: 3,60 m / 12 ft
  • Casting weight: 100 to 250 g
  • Telescopic, 6 sections
  • Blank: glass fibre

The cheapest route to a beach

32,98 €, with the same 100–250 g rating as rods at twice and four times the price on this shelf. What the money does not buy is named rings, a published weight or a published packed length.

The figure that should be here and is not

A transport length. Six sections on a 3,60 m rod is the whole argument for a telescopic, and the listing does not say what it collapses to. The Team Deep Sea rod on this shelf publishes about 145 cm for a three-piece; a six-section telescopic should beat that comfortably, and the page will not put a number on it.

Where it can be bought

Germany 32,98 €, Italy 54,24 €. Absent from the United States.

Availability

Read on the day this page was built: 33 € at the German Amazon shop.

Kept out of the range: the Italian Amazon shop 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, French and Spanish Amazon shops list the reference with nobody behind it.

No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.

What sets this model apart

Compared with the median of its own aisle on this site — not with the market at large.

  • Sections6+100 % vs the aisle median
  • Amazon referenceB005HND9DA (one reference across 5 Amazon marketplaces)-29 % vs the aisle median
  • Length3,60 m — 12 ft-14 % vs the aisle median

The declared figures, and the point they run out

Strengths

  • A full 100–250 g rating at 32,98 €, which is the cheapest on the shelf
  • Six telescoping sections, so it collapses into a car boot without folding a seat
  • A 13 ft version of the same rod exists at 3,90 m for 46,43 €

Compromises

  • No transport length published, which is the one figure a telescopic rod is bought for
  • Six joints is six places for sand to collect, and a beach is made of sand
  • The Italian price of 54,24 € is two-thirds above the German one

Questions that come in about this one

How short does it pack?

Not published, which is the odd gap on a telescopic rod: six sections on 3,60 m implies well under a metre, but the page prints figures rather than arithmetic.

Does sand hurt a telescopic rod?

It is the thing to watch. Six joints on a beach will collect sand, and a section rinsed and dried extended is a section that still slides next season. That belongs in the end-of-season routine.

Is glass fibre enough for 250 g?

The rating is the maker’s, and glass fibre is what makes a cheap rod survive a hard cast. It is heavier than carbon, and the weight is not published here to compare.

Who this one is for

A first beach rod carried in a small car, or a spare kept in the boot
