Proper Length for Bait Casting Rods


Proper Length for Bait Casting Rods

For practical angling it is now pretty generally conceded that the proper length for the casting rod lies somewhere between 5 1/2 and 6 feet. Personally I have cast with a Henshall rod, 8 1/4 feet, a 7-foot rod, a 5 1/4foot rod, and a 6-foot rod. With each of these I have had a good deal of experience under various conditions, and I have talked and fished much with other anglers who used rods of other lengths. For all round fishing the six-foot rod is, it seems to me, by far the best. The average length of the original "Kalamazoo” casting rods was less than five feet; and for long distance tournament work rods of 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 feet are the most common. But the casting rod for fishing must be adapted to landing a bass as well as to mere casting; and, within reasonable limits, the wise angler will sacrifice casting distance to efficient bass-handling. It has been proven by the experience of a multitude of bait-casters, certainly by my own experience, that the very short rods are mighty poor tools with which to land a bass. The rod, however, must not be too long, for this will make the overhead cast a matter of too much difficulty. In fishing, the side and overhead cast will be used impartially. The six-foot rod is long enough to handle a bass well, and short enough for overhead casting; in fact, it answers all the requirements of the bait-casting rod. The six-foot rod is hereby recommended.
