The Leeda Tele Spin R is a telescopic spinning rod designed for anglers who need a compact, portable option for travel or casual fishing on the move. The blank collapses to 58cm, which is short enough to fit in a backpack, the side pocket of a holdall, or checked luggage without a rod tube. Two models are available: an 8ft version rated for 10-30g lures and a 10ft version at 15-50g.
Both collapse to the same 58cm closed length. The blank is a fibreglass mix construction with a matt finish. Guides are lined rings, the handle is a full-length EVA grip, and the reel seat is a screw-lock fitting.
Leeda describe the Tele Spin R as suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. The rod is99 for the 10ft, placing it at the budget end of the UK lure rod market. The Tele Spin R is designed as a practical travel tool rather than a primary performance rod, and sits alongside the non-telescopic Spin R in the Leeda range for anglers who prefer a standard 2-piece construction.
| Lengths | 8ft, 10ft |
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| Design: Telescopic | Closed length: 58cm | The blank collapses to 58cm for storage and transport. This is short enough to fit in a backpack or standard holdall without a rod tube. |
| Available Sizes: 8ft 10-30g / 10ft 15-50g | Two models are available. Each collapses to the same 58cm closed length. |
| Blank: Fibreglass mix | The blank is described as a fibreglass mix construction. Fibreglass composites have a more progressive flex than carbon blanks. |
| Blank finish: Matt | A matt surface finish rather than gloss. |
| Guides: Lined rings | Lined rings have a ceramic or similar insert in the ring, which allows line to pass through more smoothly than plain metal rings and reduces wear on the line. |
| Handle: Full EVA | A full-length EVA foam grip running the length of the handle section. EVA stays non-slip when wet. |
| Reel seat: Screw-lock | A screw-lock fitting clamps the reel foot in place once tightened, holding it more securely than a simple push-fit clip. |
