Downrigger release Question

[DKStroutfitter]

We never really hit on the rods that we use. If the rods are of a stiffer action, it will make using a release more difficult in my opinion.
7' or longer rods in light action would be my recommendation.
I use Lamiglass Kokanee rods and I am very happy with them. I have also used Ugly Stick 7' light action rods with good success.
