Got some scope ops retractable in 10 foot and really like them. If i was fishing a water at range i would use my 12 foot rods every time

I think you have to match the rod to the water. Mostly use my 10ft black op scopes these days but if I visit a massive pit then the torrixes come along. I've just found a cracking little water literally on my doorstep and I'll be using the 8 footers there.

Mainly 12 here, but I do fish a small lake once or twice a year on a social lake exclusive booking type set up, it’s an old match make so it’s long and narrow and I brought a set esp quickdraws for that, decent little rods had a good hand full of mid 20s on them just don’t think I could comfortably get the range I fish at on my normal water
