I would rather acheive longer casts with a shorter rod (7 ft). This rod can
also give you a rapid succession of casts. The longer 8-9 ft rod is often
difficult to wield and cause arm pain. A 7 ft rod (rapala or berkley workhorse)
and using other factors to acheive long casts is the best for me.

Most of my fishing is done on creeks so I'm worried about using too long of a rod.
