I use the 12 foot Pinnacles but also use and really like the BPS four piece telescoping poles. They make stowing the rods and setting them out much easier than the typical 2 peace rods. Just reel the bait to the tip, collapse a section and repeat until all the way in. Putting out just reverse. They have 2 different ones and mine are the pricier version with the ruler also marked on the rod. I also like the neon rod tip for noticing light strikes.
