Default Re: rod question

I agree with Doug. When I blackfish on party boats I prefer to use my 8ft and 7'6" rods. I still use an 8ft rod on charter boats but it is a little more of a nuisance when swinging fish therefore I usually just grab the line and pull em up. 6'6" to 7'6" is ideal for blackfishing private/charter boats but you may roll a few more fish and have a tougher time swinging them on the party boats.

Just my 2cents (I'm by no means a rod expert, just fish a LOT)
