What is the advantage of buying a shorter or longer fishing rod?
I am looking into buying a new fishing rod and the two options are either a 5'10" rod or a longer 6'6" rod, i usually just fish the detroit river and i do many different styles from casting to trolling to jigging and pretty much anything that's working. but i would like to know what the advantages of getting the shorter rod would be and what the advantages of getting the longer rod would be, also please let me know any disadvantages either might have, they are the same brand same price same everything except for the length, both are even medium action. Thank you for helping me with this.
In the days of old I would always use the rods that were under six foot long.Several years back I bought a 6'6" rod and was amazed at the better hook sets, more control over the fish after hook up, more control over the lure while fishing, and a general better feel of the finesse lures while fishing them. If storage space is not a factor go with the longer rod. It does make a difference.
