9 foot standard? I thought it was 10. A 9 is short. Hahahaha.
I agree Zach. I think the influence and design of rods shifted to the West, and away from the East where short rods were the vogue for so long. A fast action 9 foot six may make a terrific streamer rod from a drift boat, but on Saturday I found myself fishing one of my local waters and wishing I had one of those “warm water” type rods to pick up and lay down streamers easily in tight quarters. Its an internal debate because I am concerned about the loss of mending ability, but a load into the butt and one back cast sounds awfully nice.
On that note…

I’ve seen these on ebay a lot lately.
Also there’s always the march brown rods, but to be honest I don’t know anyone who’s ever cast one.
Don’t want to steal any thunder from the land of Oz, but there’s also the following Australian product:
i have a dry creek chest pack for when its lousy out and that thing has taken a dunk with out a drop getting in the bag.
Holidays are never disappointing as long as you have your health and your family to spend them with!
