RE: In need of a long rod.
All right. The rods(ok technically poles) I mentioned above are rather expensive, going for 500+ English pounds($850 U.S.). However there are some affordable alternatives. The only good link to some nice rods I found is to an English company but you may be able to find more, or possibly contact the companies directly. Anyhow here you go: http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/catalog/index.php?currency=USD&cPath=319_622_1405& sort=2a
The Shakespeare SpearLite Tele Pole Kit comes in either 4 or 5 metres(approx. 161/2 to 21 ft), some of the other rods are 10 to 12 feet.

RE: In need of a long rod.
I prefer to stay away from the telescoping type.
Has anyoneever handled a"Feeder" rod?
How does it differ from a standard spinning rod?
I noticed that they have a maximum casting lure weight of about 6-8oz.
I cant find aminimum casting lure weight...???
This rod needs alittle finesse and demands a reel. I like to work my bait(a little)98% of the time(live or not)
I use 1/16 oz sinker and redworm a lot. As well as "naked" baits (insects frogs n such)
small topwaters, roostertails, jigs , and spoons.
I also like a cut piece of can and a small treble.
I need to be able to "pitch" light things with precision.
As of nowI am leaning towards the BnM, just worried it may be too light in action. But it has been designedfor a fishing stylethat closely resembles my own.
I have and do use (wild)bamboo. I prefer it for my gig handle over a fishing pole myself.
Thanks. I plan on doing a little research on Match Fishing. That might actually be a tournamentI may participate in, in the future.
