RE:eeling rod.

Hard to argue about striperman's choice of rods but he fishes the beaches at the Cape. Around our area , you typically fish boulder fields with big 4 and 5 foot high rocks out there. A very typical scene is to hook the bass in the middle of the boulder field and then it takes off parralell to the coast (thats the way the currents often run around here and in the LI Sound). Next thing you know you have to reach over the boulders to clear the line. Anyway , if you fish in boulder fields , the extra length comes in handy.
