FNF reel size and rod--question?????

[know1]

I've been using the BPS micro-lite FnF at 8'6". I can still cast the fly at 10' without too much trouble. It seems that a rod any longer than that would just be more awkward.

Don't get brainwashed that a 10ft leader is the only optional depth to fish. Sometimes you may have to go as fart as 18ft....thus longer rod would make it a lot easier.

Hmm. I didn't realize that you fished it that deep at times. The deepest I thought I'd heard was 12'
