Secure a compatible casting reel in the reel seat and thread line through every guide. Choose line and a complete bait or lure rig within the ratings printed on the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with short, controlled casts to check your setup. If using a baitcasting reel, set its spool controls for the rig and conditions before making longer casts. Match your presentation to the rod's actual ratings rather than assuming every bass, catfish, or panfish rig is suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet the reel's drag to suit your line and tackle, and use a net or appropriate landing tool instead of lifting fish with the rod tip. Avoid pulling a snag free by sharply bending the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe away dirt and water after fishing, keeping sand and grit out of the telescoping joints. Let the rod dry, then collapse it gently as directed by Zebco without pushing against the guides. Protect the tip during transport and check the guide rings for damage before threading fresh line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom's Bait and Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50957088653531,"sku":"ZCASTC56TEL,,FB6","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5320\/7003\/files\/ZebcoCastTeleRod.png?v=1793237176","url":"https:\/\/www.reelfishcartel.com\/products\/zcast-telescopic-casting-rod","provider":"ReelFishCartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
