Yeah...If all you(1FastMerc) really do is wade...go with a 6'5" - 6'9" in ML Xtra Fast, Med/Fast or a Med Light "Wader" Style Rod.
If you Wade and Boat ...6'9" MLXF is best
If you only boat fish.... 7' and 7'6" Med Fast .... 7' and above Rods give you more casting distance for fishing the birds and you'll able to cast way out in front of the boat while drifting.....Just make sure your line is spooled full on your reel.
Now this advice is if you're only buying 1 rod...if buying more than one rod then you can cherry pick lengths and actions.
Also give a price range...cause you're gonna get people suggesting 200-350 dollar rods on here.....You can find some great rods for 119.00 and below.
