[cool][#800040][size 2]Here is quote from the Arizona Outdoorsman:[/size][/#800040]
[#800040][size 2]"[#800040]In situations when long casts are required, such as fishing large rivers, fishing from a float tube, or fishing from the shore, a longer rod is necessary. Longer rods also make mending your line a much easier task. This is true because the longer rods will allow you to hold more line off the water. For float tube fishing or deep wading, a 9’ rod is needed to cast effectively because of your low position in the water. Many float tubers even opt for longer rods in the 9’6” – 10’ lengths. The more line you can hold off and away from the water, the better you will be able to pick up line and cast". [/#800040][/size][/#800040]
