I like a 6'6" when trying to make short, accurate casts. Then a 7' for general purposes. MH is best in my opinion.

Here�s a meat & potato�s question fo-sho � well there are really three different spinnerbait presentation types here, first - close combat is best suited for a MH 5�6� Pistol-grip with either heavy mono or braid for slinging around boat docks or over hanging cover, etc. �mid-range ya need a 7� M long butt with 14 to 17lb mono - good for working the outside edges of cover with more open water�the finally for those days when the fish seem to only bite on a loooooong-cast ya need a stiffer 7� to 7�6� MH to H with heavy mono or braid so ya can get that hook set way out there�until I added the long range stick I can�t tell you how many good fish I wound halfway back to the boat only to have them spit the bait at me because I didn�t have enough ars to set the hook way out yonder�

O�well that�s my �two-cents� anyway�
