Tight Lines
Senior Member
I do have a 7' Douglas that still hasn't been on the water and won't buy anything shorter until I use that a bit...it's a 3 wt. with an SA line...Amplitude I think...I don't like particularly short rods. It's hard to keep line off the water and roll and bow and arrow cast. With that said, glass rods are inherently shorter than their graphite counterparts. I find it easier to fish even the skinniest of creeks with an 8 footer.
