Teleshorty SE

The Teleshorty SE is a Prox/Viceo ultra-compact telescopic spinning rod designed primarily for portability, the collapsed length of approximately 22.5 cm (TSHS55LT) fits in a standard business bag or day pack, making it suited to commuter fishing, travel, and bicycle or motorcycle trips where carrying a standard-length rod is impractical. Target applications are light lure fishing: urban trout streams, small rivers, light bass, and light inshore salt. Blank is a multi-section telescopic (approximately 11 sections plus 1 extension section) paired with an included extension grip that adds 17 cm to overall length when deployed, improving casting leverage and control.

At collapsed length, the rod fits inside a bag without a tube or case. The 5'5" (TSHS55LT) and 5'4" (TSHS55MLT) fishing lengths are functional for short-range presentations on smaller water. Construction details are unpublished beyond the telescopic blank, at this price tier, blank and guide materials are utilitarian. The extension grip is a key differentiator from simpler telescopics. Two models at near-identical collapsed and deployed lengths: TSHS55LT (L power, line 3–8 lb, lure 3/32–1/4 oz) and TSHS55MLT (ML power, line 4–10 lb, lure 3/16–3/8 oz).

LT is the lighter-line finesse end for trout and small stream work; MLT handles slightly heavier lures and line for bass and light inshore salt applications. Both spinning format.
