if you haven't bought the 14fters I would go for the 16fters. Reason as soon as you get hooked on spider rigging you will want to sell the 14"s for 16's. Just saying!

Cookie, that an opinion, I like the 14s, that also is an opinion, boat size makes a big difference too.

It's all in what you get use to. I fish 14s but want 16s. 16s are going to be heavier to fish with but think once you get use to them it would be fine. I'm fishing out of a 17ft war eagle I think the longer poles would help get baits out in front of boat a little better and be able to reach the spooky fish. Just my 2cents

Just when I decided to go with 14's this post shows up. What's a guy to do?
If we did what was most important in life there would be a shortage of Bibles.................and fishing poles

I have a 19 ft center console and fish 14's...16 ft is an awful lot of rod to mess with! ive had no problem catching fish pushing in 4-5 ft of water.

Go with the 14's beter overall pole especially if you fish by yourself. Got both and 16 is a lot to handle by yourself.Originally Posted by elkhunter

I'm just not sure because I'm set further back from the front of boat just the way war eagles are setup

Have fished both for many years, and 16's do get heavy. We fish around 15 tourneys a year and almost always go with the 14's. Most of the pros do favor longer rods. Clear water in one place you would want longer rods.
