Can trekking poles (collapsible) be checked in a backpack thru TSA from US?

Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Yes, poles can be carried in checked baggage; not in unchecked cabin baggage, although it appears this is not always consistently applied in the US and elsewhere.
