7' vs 7'6" Rods

[redneckshadrap]

Just how hard do you need to set a hook? I fish with some good fisher and don't think I've seen anything over 7ft in there hand. Thier hookset my be a little better. 6 inches off the butt or 6 inches off the tip either way will move the backbone up or down the rod.

Hairball's commentary was perfectly stated! The only difference in opinion is that I prefer a 6' rod when throwing cranks at cover. It's really all about what feels good and what catches fish!

Guys,

Thanks for all the input. I too am a very tall guy and im really partial to those 7 footers. I had thought about the 7'6" and the rod storage, and that was one of the big cons. I think im gonna stay with the 7's. My accuracy has improved since going from the 6'6" and it seems like i get better hook sets in the deeper water.

Thanks again for all your input!
