I have a question about the height of a person and the rod length he or she is limited to use. If I am 6' tall young man and want to buy a surf rod. What rod length should maximize my height with respect to casting out?
I recently purchased a used Surfcasting 12' Ugly Stik for $50 as a Xmas present. I checked the rod and saw no real damages or wear, just a few scratches. The guides are good. I have a 9'Surfspinning outfit and can cast out about 170 feet with a 2 oz sinker and bait.
Is a 12' rod too long for someone like my father who is 5'1"?
