The one real downfall of the Ninja X is that it does not collapse as compact as some other telescopic options. Even the reel seat has been built with a long lifespan and sharp aesthetics in mind. The carbon fiber blanks are equipped with a premium cork handle and Aluminum oxide, tread-wrapped guides, so Daiwa has not cut any corners here. There are even a few options over 10 feet long that are capable of casting big, heavy plugs, so this is a great portable go-to for surfcasting applications. Unlike most telescopic options on the market, this rod is available in a wide array of lengths as well as a plethora of maximum casting weights, so you can really narrow down this option to the exact rod specs you’re looking for. Featuring a strong backbone and fast tip action, the Ninja X is built for fishermen who refuse to sacrifice quality for the sake of portability. Daiwa’s Ninja X Telescopic Fishing Rods are a top-notch option for anglers seeking a collapsible rod that looks, feels, and performs like a standard one or two-piece spinning rod.
