Thanks for that Mike, I'll play with the rods I have and use this to
learn from. The boat fishing I'm thinking of is all standing in a
stable boat, either a flats boat in Florida, or a similar boat up north
when I fish for Pike. The long rod I used to have, a 10 foot rod, was
a bit harder to deal wiuth without over bending the rod while landing
the fish. I was thinking the shorter rod would be easier at that
point. You've got me rethinking that part too.
