I see there are three sizes, 1.8M, 2.1M and 3.3M. Is there any benefit to having a longer rod like the 3.3M vs. the average length?

when fishing salmon or steelhead it' nice to get more leverage on them. The longer rod is a bit stiffer and can handle fairly largre fish.

i bought the short one and i'd advise you not to waste your money. i gave mine to the local sally ann!!

I use longer one due to the fact I use it or surf fishing and you can cast a lot farther.

I will be using mine without a reel. Take about 18 ft mono, tye one end where the reel go's,run the line through the eye's,then stretch out the rod.You now have 10 ft of rod and about 8 ft of line and hook an bait to swing out under a tree overhanging the water. You have to walk easy,keep way down,and creep up Swing out your bait and you should catch plenty. Worm or cricket or knock down out of a tree a wasp nest somewhere and use the white pupi inside. That is how i catch perch! answer to question The 10 foot rod gives me more reach without casting.

Only the same benefits as any longer rod.. Length of your rod depend on what and where you are fishing. However, structurally with this particular rod it doesn't matter. Just get the length you would with any another rod.

I would contact manufacturer. Mine came with three, but to tell you the truth I cannot tell any difference between them although the code says small, medium, large. I would not hesitate to use what you have for the rigging.

although amazon sent me a scratched one (and quickly replaced it), i am a big fan of these okuma's. well made and a good price. i have 3 different sizes. the 4/5 one is probably the best "average" sized one. btw, okuma makes rods that are a good deal too. i ordered one from walmart.com.

I prefer the longer ones. you get more thrust with slower kicking or short strokes. Saves energy and if you really need power it is there.

You get 2 5 feet and 2 4 feet hang rods so if you use 2 8 feet rods you will only be able to use 2 , however if you use 1 8 feet and 2 4 feet you will have 3 hang rods!

The length of each individual piece varies by the overall length of the product you anticipate ordering. In either case (longer vs. shorter overall length), there is ample rod that fits inside. We have both longer and shorter, and there is no sagging in the middle of the rod sets.

There are many rod of this length. Both fresh and saltwater. My serf rods of choice are between 9 and 11 ft.I love Ugly sticks because you can use light to heavy test line and the fight is the same. If you go tall thenget something as light as you can.

There is a small end and a larger end of the rod, because one rod fits inside of the other. The two ends (brackets, holders) also have different sizes. Make sure you have the correct end on the correct portion of the rod.

The lengths of Cory rods are a bit different but they are basically interchangeable as the bulged rough surface filter part is pretty much the same on all of them. Nothing on original packaging that I have seen to indicate length. There are also rods with springs to hold them in position made by both Silex and Corning and a finer textured filter rod still being made by Cona of England.

You have to consider the physical weight and spring weight of the rod. These rods aren't that heavy and doesn't feel to add any weight towards the front end. I would go with 17 lb spring. Not too much stress to mess up any parts, not too little for failure2feed. Hope this helped.

We did not get the longest rod, but it is an exceptional quality and the tension is excellent.Each of these go a 30" min to max so I would guess that you would deduct that from the max and whatever is above the minimum would be incased. I could be wrong. We did not go to the max.

The 6'6" is a spinning rod. The 6'3" is a casting rod. I have both of them.

Not sure about the lenth but when using the cleaning rod it should have at least the same lenth of the barell the one i got is les than3/4

I don't believe it does. You will want to order a rod in the length you need. They start at 6", I think and increase in 6" increments. Height over your head is important!

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

I worked with 24' total without any problems. My gut feeling is that you could add two more sections without a problem. The rods are stout but flexible.

Yes Amanda - they come with two extra rods. Each one is 12 inches long. You can use just one or both to add an extra 12 or 24 inches.
