Perhaps the higher quality Shimano telescopic rods do not have these issues, but never tried them.

My last one was a $120 Shimano and it snapped like a dry twig just below the middle guide.
I don't think it's possible to build a telescopic rod with any kind of structural integrity that can still cast and play fish like a normal rod.
