I was wondering if anyone here owns and cast a 10' 7wt. fly rod?
I've tried a 9'6" and thought that was a bit long. Most of my fly-rods
are under 9'. I was wondering about the casting control of the 10'er.
Heard the extra length was good for mending characteristics.
Comments?

I'm on my second 10' 7 wt.. I bought the first to give me more control
casting while sitting in a canoe. It rapidly became my favorite bass
rod whether I was sitting or standing. I really noticed the difference
when I broke it a few months ago and fished a couple 9 footers I still
have. They just didn't handle the bigger smallie flies as well as the
10' did. So I bought another one a month ago and really can't imagine
not using it for most of my bass fishing.
