3 piece rods

[swampmaster]

Anyone have suggestions on what decent quality 3 piece rod to buy for targeting bass along rivers where a long hike is required?
I've seen a 3 piece Sensation spinning rod that looked ok.
Prefer a medium fast action, some backbone required too, to muscle fish out of structure/weed.
I'm in Cape Town.

why 3 pc specifically? what size, how many ft?

The reason for 3pc is so that the rod can be easily strapped to a backpack when hiking.
 
Around 6'6' would be a reasonable size.

I doubt you'll get a 3 pc rod that small. I know daiwa has a 4 or 5 piece spinning rod which is for travelling. Fits into a small bag. Perfect for what you want... Why not look at a fly rod....? Could work just as well...

Thanks for your advice 100% African.
At a push a two piece rod would be ok too, much more choice in that line...

look at a diawa 5 ft 6 inch 2 piece ultra lite. it is good for bass, trout, kurper and even barbel under 5 kgs. I have a couple of them. A great reel to match it with is an okuma ignite it10. the whole setup will be about R400 excluding line. Spool some 4 or 6 lb fire line and you good to go...
