6 or 7 foot rod?
 
I have my 7 foot falcon rod and a cheap 6 foot 15 dollar shakespeare rod from walmart which is surprisingly an awsome rod. Is it better to use a 7 foot or a 6 foot rod in freshwater?

If you're bass fishing, we here in La are usually beating the banks in around trees, boat docks, peirs etc. 6'6 or less is usually better. At my camp is nothing put cypress throughout the lake really no open water, I like a 5'6 - 6' there. Just depends on the territory.

i like my falcon because of its action, but the way i cast it may scrape the water

i use a 7ft rod when im around cypress trees. it helps me get it under there better.
