Ozark rods are a fine rod, I believe all have their place in different situations. Go buy you some and see for yourself which you like better. I use both the 10 and 11 allot. I would bet if you asked Ozark which jigging rod they have sold the most of in the last year or so... my money is on the 10 foot rear seated Ozark. Hands Down. That in it's self should tell you something.
