I've got 8 and 10 foot Pinnacles for trolling and my only complaint is that the handle is a little short for my Spyderloc rod holders. When in the holders I only have about a 1/2 inch of rod handle sticking out at the back of the holder. One little bump of the handle and the rod goes into the water. I recovered the rod the first time it happened, then I put some pipe insulation on them so that they would float if it happened again and it has a couple of more times. So then I started putting the reel in between the front and back of the holders and then the spindles on the drag started getting broke off, so I just went ahead and bought some new BnM's. The BnM's handle is 21 inches long and leaves 3 or 4 inches of handle sticking out so a small bump doesn't knock them out. Just some info that you might consider.
