I have a 7 foot GLoom and wonder if it wouldn't be better to have the longer rod ... especially for pitching jigs?
The rod is black with purple accents. For jigs going longer is better, though I'm not the best one to answer that. I went for the 7'8" because 8'+ seemed too long. I like fishing creeks and rivers where space is limited at times. Not that a few inches makes that big of a difference. I just settled on the 7'8".
