My first post. This is a question for fun and not validation. After 40+ years of fishing I have finally arrived at a conclusion. My sweet spot for rod lengths is 6'6"-6'9". While I have lots of rods over this length, I find that I always reach for my GLX BCR803 and Kistler HE69APC. They just feel right. I'm relatively tall at 6'3" and always fish from my boat. The only time I use longer (7'+) rods is for Carolina rigs and flipping. Otherwise I hate the extra length. Seems the prevailing theories are different. What say you folks?
