    Default Rod length Preference


    Fixing to convert to minnows from cranks. What is your rod length preference for pushing minnows in the fall. I have all three, but like my 12 footers in the fall.

    When I started out I said I wouldn't go longer than ten ft. Then I changed to 12 footers and said that's long enough. I was wrong.....been using 14 footers for several years now and love them.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Same as "G". I started with 10s, then 12s, now I use 14s and would never go back. If my boat was a little longer, I would be tempted to try the 16s!!!

    We all start with 10s or 12s. Now use 16s. Buy good gear- and you can sell it if you don't like it.

    14's, buy a popular length then you can trade if need be.

    2sets of 12's and was happy. Bought a set of 14's and like them the best. My seats sits kinda back in the boat so they help a lot. If I was sitting up on the front of boat don't think I would go away from the 12's myself.
