Super User tomustang Posted September 16, 2013 Super User Posted September 16, 2013 Anyone know if the added 1 inch makes a better difference, balances out better or worse, does it matter? Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted September 16, 2013 Super User Posted September 16, 2013 IMO If the flex and tip are exactly the same I don't think a single inch will make a difference. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted September 16, 2013 Super User Posted September 16, 2013 it didn't make a difference. they just improved the blank. did you find an older 69mlxf spinning rod? Quote
Super User tomustang Posted September 17, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 17, 2013 I've seen the 6'9's on CL every now and then Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 17, 2013 Super User Posted September 17, 2013 Is it a casting rod? I had a 2012 casting LTB drop shot rod and I didn't like it. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted September 17, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 17, 2013 Just the spinning model Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted September 17, 2013 Super User Posted September 17, 2013 well if you find the older version of the 69mlxf let me know where if you would please. i like the older split grip more than the new ones. i've been looking for this rod specifically for over a year now for a specific purpose and it seems those who have it won't give it up.

Have you looked for the blank to get a custom rod made? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 17, 2013 Global Moderator Posted September 17, 2013 I have the 6' 10" spinning dropshot. I don't know if the extra inch makes a difference but it is a really nice rod. 2 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted September 19, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 19, 2013 I figured they both would be good, preference on the handles are the only opinions that differ, which my wife likes the newer design so I'll get the 6'10 for her and keep my eye on the 6'9's Quote
Super User tomustang Posted October 8, 2013 Author Super User Posted October 8, 2013 The inch didn't matter, still feels good. Quote
