I am helping a friend develop a product and need all your input. Please take a moment to vote.
I have an idea of how most of you will answer, but need the numbers anyways.

The question is simple, how long is your longest rod?

Thanks for participating!

mine is 12'6" and I use it for surf fishing.

10' 6" is my longest for now. I'm hoping to have a 12' by june 1.

14' spey rod. But can I cast it 120+ feet like some people? No not really. I can only manage about 50 feet, I'll have to practice.

12'-6" Shimano that I intend to use for float fishing is my longest. Have a 10' & 10'-6" also. The rest arr 9' & shorter.

It really is 12 feet, but in the cold rain it looks like its less. You have heard of shrinkage haven't you?

12 ft str 1445 c

Got two 15ft float rods, one is a Talon and one is a Hardy. Good for rivers where you need lots of line control. A freind has a 17 footer but its like a wet noodle, has no purpose except for slapping people on the river you don't like.

10'6 "

14'6 Sage spey rod.

In the process of building it now.

I'm surprised it took all of 6 posts for this thread to hit the gutter, but not really surprised it had to be Mr. Vedder.

15 foot Ugly Stik surfcaster.

It's a big herkin' thing, great for hurling small animals great distances. I use it for bank fishing for sturgeon on the Columbia and crabhawking in the Sound. To get it to work effectively required learning a new casting style, though it isn't hard to pick up. I've used it to catch Redtails in the surf, but the rod is so heavy that it wears you out pretty quick.

I have a Shimano Convergence 10'6"

Thanks for the replies and votes so far.

I am also in the 10'6" category with both a Daiwa Heartland mooching rod and a All Star flaot rod of the same length.

10'6"

10'6" float rod

Mine is a 10.6 float rod

I can't see having anything longer just to unbalanced.

10-6 float rod that I hardly ever use :rolleyes:

It all depends on which scale of measurement I use.

If I use the one familiar to my wife where this: I---------------------------------------------------------I is 6 inches... then it's over 13 feet!

If I use the one printed on the rod, well... that'd be about 9'6".

Me too.

Another Convergence 10' 6" that I use frequently.

16'

No surprise in the results......I'm one of the 7%er's 8'6" is max length for me. Popping brush with anything longer is a pain. Salmo, I can almost get two rods out of that flag pole!!

G Loomis 13' 4" mooching rod it is sweeeet !!!

16ft. sturgeon bank rod.

Not being long rod envious, but mine is 10' 6".

Also, it's not the size that matters. It's how the rod performs and feels in your hand!

For that, I prefer my 9 footer!

A 12' handwrapped original Loomis blank I call a serious mooching rod. The terror of persnickity, light biting, limp nosing, mealy mouthed, lazy caudal finned, belly busting, rip snorting kings.
They never know what hit 'em.

My longest is 126 inches and counting
