You must weigh about 120 pounds? If you are only casting 20 yards with your other rod I doubt you are casting 60 with the big stick! I am 6' 5" tall and 300 pounds SB and don't feel comfortable with anything over 10 feet....its just too darn much! I got a nice 1205 Arra that already wears me out when I cast it....my 9 foot 108-1 I can cast all day and night, get good distance and it handles fish nice.....I need more back bone for bigger fish, I got a 108-3 that can land large anywhere I want to fish. Get a niner boy......you get your uncle to bring you to MSBA Plug Night next week and we can talk.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Nope! See there you go! You need to gather more knowledge SB before you make these decisions. We are just trying to help......the rod must be comfortable for your size.....and a 9 is what you need. Ugly Stick is made by Shakespeare.....check them out in a nine footer, something with a light action if you are plugging.

I would recommend an 8 footer for you based on age and size. Something that will handle about 3/4 to 3 OZ. Its all about timing , not length and strength. until you can get the timing and good rythm down with a shorter rod , you are wasting your efforts on a big rod.

A good caster will outcast you every time with the 8 footer compared to you with the 12 footer if you can't handle it.

Take it back and get a refund SB. It will wear you out inside of a dozen casts and because you don't have the size to get a great cast from it.....you will be casting a lot less than you will from a 9 footer. Just because the rod is huge does not mean you will get a great, long cast! I can cast just as far with my 9 footers as I can with my 10 footers. Any rod over 10 feet is a waste unless one is going against an angry ocean with high rollers! You want a great rod for the money? Go to Wal-mart and pick yourself up a 9 foot ugly stick! Nice rod, durable, casts well and you will get more bang for the buck from tha rod!
