Rod lengths - Advise needed
Any advise is better than none.....Looking at setting up new rods for next year on planner's/jets & dipseys, I realized after measuring that some rods have been repaired in past leaving most slightly different. (bought a turn key boat) Any advise on sizes? I always ran a shorter rod for dipseys, was this wrong? My past jet rods varied from 7'9""-8'6" (all were a 8'6" rod before they were shortened) [email protected] - Thanks guys
Happy Holidays to ALL....

Rod length & boat size
Rod length and boat sizes are very important. I do a lot of trolling, spoons, and crawler harnesses with snap weights. I bought all 9 foot poles, so when I reel in to the snap weight I have to lay the pole across the boat to reach the snap weight, because my boat isn't wide enough to back up and reach the snap. This really irritates me, all because I didn't do my homework, and listened to everyone else. I could have gotten away with 7 1/2 footers which would have been about perfect.

thanks guys, it seems like alot of personal prefernces. I had 8'6" on jets and 9'6" on 4 dipseys on a 24' Thompson, what a tangled mess - and its really hard to store them with 6 casting rods aboard. They are all for sale- guys keep ears open. I'm going to 6 or 7 rods next year, and short 5'10' HD'S for dipseys. Last year was like sword fighting on the rear of the boat! Getting ready to jig, cant wait - Ron
