Earlier this month B.A.S.S. updated their rod length regulations allowing rods up to ten feet in length on the tournament scene. this opens the door to a variety of new presentations with noodle rods, fly rods, surf rods, monster swimbait rods, etc.
Personally I bought a noodle rod for weightless worms and dropshotting and a surf rod for deep cranking and swimbaiting and I have always had a fly rod with shooting line on hand for super finesse topwater situations, which is crazy effective. so out of curiosity what are you planning to do with the new regulations?
