Chaos Tackle's flagship telescopic musky rods at $389.99, marketed as the first true high-quality telescopic rods on the market. High-modulus blanks, Fuji K tangle-free SiC guides, Fuji DPS reel seats with a lure keeper hole, and cork handles; select builds take a Revolution reel seat upgrade ($429.99). The telescoping butt collapses each rod by well over a foot (a 9' model retracts to 7'5") for rod lockers and truck beds, at 10 to 12.25 oz.
The line spans five bait-class families across 15 blank configurations in split or full grip: Surgical Strike MH (8'6"-9', 3/4-4 oz), Tactical Strike H (7'10"-9'6", 2-6 oz), SWAT XH (8'6"-10', 3-10 oz), Shock & Awe XXH (9'-10', 4-24 oz), and Moab XXXH (9'-10', 5-30 oz). Warranty is 100% for one year, then $150 covers repair or replacement for four more.
