I've got a telescoping pole for some basic freshwater stuff and it actually works really well for me. I can see the drawbacks but I'm such a casual fisher that the benefits and storage space of the rod outweigh any issues.
I've been using it pretty often, 1-2x a week for a few hours to an entire day at a time, switching out setups/hooks, and catching fish (or trees....). I've had one serious line issue and it happened earlier today. Other than that it's behaved perfectly, and I have absolutely no complaints.

Hey there! Only one crappy cell phone pic of the cooking after dark. :(
In Yosemite you can only fish with barb-less lures. No powerbait, no live bait. I find that silver kastmasters perform the best. You have to use pliers or some tool to bend off the barbs of the hooks. Makes fishing a challenge, but I like to follow the rules. We were able to catch 4 fish in a day and two of them were pretty decent size!
Edit: Also, we use these Eagle Claw poles. They pack down small and are relatively light.
I know nothing of the quality of Eagle Claw's rods or this specific fishing rod, but here is an example of the type of rod you probably want.
