We will need to know which species you are fishing for.
If it’s salmon, I would not suggest a collapsible rod. But maybe you had something else in mind?
Why though are you wanting a colapsabe rod?

There are some Tube vid reviews of the really cheap Chinese ones. I picked up a couple to try as well. I got them for panfish but doubt they would hold up to bigger fish. The sections slide into each other so there is a slight taper they all lock together with. Mine arrived with some of the eyes broke loose. No biggy, I just re-glued them.
There are quality 'travel' rods that break down into many pieces so are pretty small to carry as well. Best of luck.
