BASS announced that they will allow anglers to use up to a 10 ft long rod starting in 2017. Interesting to see what comes from it.

Are there any current rod makers that make a 10ft bass rod? Maybe they will use it to get under docks or something. Seems like it would just be bulky and in the way to me

Maybe good to use for giant swimbaits but man I really can't see them being used for other stuff.

You never know when fishermen get the erg to pole-vault? I think about it often on the way to the lake.

Good article on the subject and there are many others with videos for those that are interested. Research is good. http://www.outdoorchannel.com/article.aspx?id=24779Ray Scott demonstrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13KWTb6e-DQ
