They use to hold drag boat races here in St. Louis back in the day. I'm not sure how fast they were going, but they could do the 1/4 mile in about 3 seconds.
All of my rods are between 6'6" and 7'0". The shorter rods are for plastics and small moving baits. The longer rods are for making long casts with heavy moving baits.
If it hasn't been freezing on the weekend, then the wind has been blowing. I was off yesterday and decided to run out to a pond and avoid the weekend crowd. The cold front came through on Thursday instead of Friday.
Use what works in your situation. In the spring and fall, I'm using more baitcasters. During the summer I use a lot of small plastics, so I use spinning more.
