Re: 7' rod for party boat tuna
RVR,7' has been the popular length on our party boats since the late 80's, and hasn't changed. You can build a killer chunk/jig stick out of eglass for around $200. I build Calstar graphiters for $300 range if you want to employ graphite.
Many party boat deckhands like them longer 7'6" and 8'. They get more motion in the jig, helps to keep the line away from the boat, and there are fewer pulled hooks. These rods start at $225 +. The 7' I think is the best call.
