Here is my rod - it is pretty versatile, I have managed to use lures that go way beyond the recommended weight (eg 2 ounces kastmaster).

I would not recommend a telescoping rod for anything but tiny fish. People have landed pretty large fish on them but my experience with them has always been inconvenient. No backbone either.
I'd recommend something like this:

It might not be the most fantastic rod performance-wise but Ugly Stiks are almost always adequate and tough. The four piece construction will make it easy to travel with. Google "fishing rod tube," and pick one that suits your fancy. Pair it with a decent spinning reel and you're set for bass, bream, trout, small catfish maybe.
