Does rod length matter when longlining out the back of the boat? Can the regular 6' and 7' spinning rods I have work or do they need to be staggered in length like some people do pulling cranks?
They will work fine. I use longer poles on the outsides and shorter poles angled up next to the motor to get maximum line separation. I normally use 6 poles when long lining and pulling cranks.
