Many of the models we have stumbled upon while doing our research on this topic have lengths ranging from 10’ to 15’. It really boils down to what you feel most comfortable with using. Some anglers feel like utilizing a longer rod is counterproductive as it might often be heavier than a shorter one, and thus make fishing for several hours at a time less comfortable. In fact, a short pole might be just what you may need if you have to battle a strong and big fish. The longer the rod, the longer the casting distance, so you have to consider your application and whether or not you’re looking for the bait to get out further. It also stands to reason that you’ll have to choose lighter lures with a lighter and shorter rod, and the other way around if the pole is longer and heavier. Try to think beforehand and decide on what you’ll be fishing for.
