I haven’t really had a busy trip with the Eradicator yet but thats a feather also.
I feel like rod length is a personal thing IMO . And depends on the here I’m fishing.
I’m a 99% of the time, bank fisherman. I do stand about 50% of the times , I carry a stool most of the time to give my legs and knees a little rest if I’m going to be out there more than an hour.
I like shorter rods , under 6’6” . Most of my favorites are under 6’ .
On creeks I prefer a rod around 5’ or less .
