Michael - Fred Maas KT5X suggested the following to me recently and it's
working well. $2.99 plus shipping from China. Worth the wait. Delivered
early. Comes with a small cloth case.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262678511063

These are 3.6m-7.2m Carbon Fiber Stream Pole Telescopic Spinning Freshwater
Fishing Rod

25 inches - fits in a suit case just fine.  Very light - 10 ounces. Expands
to nearly 27 feet.  I don't use the last length.   I purchased two of them.

I use it with my KX2 and a 35ft and 43ft end fed antenna set up. Love it.
