Which in reality results in you fishing a shorter rod than advertised.
Note, new rods today tend to have the blank extended a foot past the reel seat. Allows a quick swing into the boat on most fish reducing the bait being thrown. Facilitates best possible hook set and control with shallow pre-spawners around cover. I can hold my arms down fully extended and easily twitch or rip from most other boats where the deck is not real high above the water.Ĭhatter bait - 6' extra heavy action. Stick bait- A short straight handled 6' medium action with a fast tip will still facilitate long cast. STAR RODS VPR 7 Spinning Rod - Medium/Light 12-25 Fuji K-frame tangle-free guides with SIC rings give incredible frame strength while reducing line. It won't cast a far as longer rods yet, you'll boat more fish. All Star's original BCH-6 from the 90s was the best. Heavy action provides better movement & control with deeper/heavier fish. Soft plastic craw- 6' heavy action facilitates quicker hook sets.
I prefer a short straight handle on 6' rods. Half of my time on the water is at night. Prefer a 6' in specific presentations bass fishing from a boat.
