    Interesting read and I must say it pretty well covers the history of poles I have tried over the years. From going out into the woods and cutting my own pole in the 40's to the new composite poles now available, I think I have tried them all at one time or another. I think the longest pole I have tried is 16' and it did not take me long to realize I did not like them. Besides getting them assembled and ready for fishing they were just generally a big PIA. Did they help catching more fish? Some days but certainly not all and that makes sense since some days the fish are spooked and other days very inquisitive. What is the biggest advantage a very long pole has over others every trip? That's an easy one to answer. Every fish you catch feels like a monster until you see it.

    Excellent read. The longest I have now (B n' M) are two of their 9' rods. I love them! I also have a 7' B n' M and a 6' model as well.

    Have the (BnM) Sam Heaton ss rods ----> 4 (10 ft) and 4 (12 ft). Use em for single pole fishing from a boat. With the 12 footer don't thing I would want anything longer with 2 people in a boat. Love the SH ss rods.
