I have 10 foots and 12 footers. Given the choice i would use 12 footers all the time, no real limits

The 10 footers are ideal for one thing for me, pack down size. I find once i am going towards 100 yds I'm struggling, and the line fraps a bit. I have tried different lead sizes and drops from the tip. I find heavier leads better and to use more of a fast lob then a cast is better if that makes sense. Saying that i can only comment on 9 and 10 foot Scopes. Rod action and ringing, could be different.

Using a boat or bait boat it does not really matter. I guess then spool size does if your are fishing far out

If your not fishing that far out and want a compact set up, cracking

I see ESP ,have some 10fters ,retractable,out in 2.5 and 2.75 tc..these sound good as I've only ever used low TC,anyway ..

I'm always looking to minimalism,although I can do better,anyway ..has anyone bought 10fters ,hated them and went back to 12s. And if so why ..?
