Not sure I agree with a 12 or 13ft rod being more accurate I'd like to know your theory on this . Quote

A longer may not being compressed to form a larger arc depending on distance for one . Quote

A longer may not being compressed to form a larger arc depending on distance for one . Expand That makes no sense, must be how you've written it. What I can tell you is that the difference in accuracy from my old rods to new was noticeable from the very first cast, a quality rod in any length will make a difference as the rod snaps back into position quicker. Give me a 9ft rod and a 12ft and I believe that I would be consistently more accurate with the longer one, probably only marginally granted. Quote
oscsha Posted August 1, 2019 Report Posted August 1, 2019 Sorry meant longer rod (obvious) . Your talking more about the rod action rather than the length of rod . So at what point does the longer rod stop becoming more accurate 13' 20' Once your used to a rod I bet there is no difference between a 9ft and 12 ft at certain distances . The difference between your old and new rods in accuracy will be more to do with the action then length . imo. or are you saying a 14' would be more accurate still ? Quote

Expand What I was really saying is that different rods have different attributes and will be better for some situations than others, and that going for shorter rods as an all rounders is a mistake IMO, that was my only real point. On accuracy it's just an opinion like yours is - I believe a 12ft will be more accurate than a shorter rod - certainly for me, or we could go for roach poles and drop the rig exactly where we want it - so yeah the longer the better if we're gonna get silly with it.

chillfactor Posted August 1, 2019 Report Posted August 1, 2019 At distance longer rods will be far more accurate & there's No way a shorter rod will out perform a longer for distance.
