I just installed 2 Driftmaster 18" T-bars with 2 rod holders each on the back of the boat. Going with the same setup in the bow. This will give me 8 poles in the water. Do you like the idea of 4 - 8' rods out the back, 2 - 10' rods and 2 - 12' rods up front? Should I forget the 8' rods and invest in 10' rods for the back?

I would also like to use the rods for jigging, pulling crank baits, etc.

Thanks!
