Hey Mac. I use the longer rod for Roll Casting as well as Spey Casting. It is awesome for the lighter tackle.
I do have some short rods too. I have some 4'6" for my vertical jigging as well as a 5' rod. Those are both spinning combos.
I have a 6' ultra light Bass rod that I take out from time to time as well.
Although the Float Rods and Spey Rods are meant more for river fishing, I managed to adapt them into surf fishing from a tube. I am actually well behind the wave and casting into the zone that one tries to get into from the shore.
Sometimes you need to be well behind the wave so that you don't get pulled into it with tube and all.
That is a good way to make a 6 piece rod out of a 3 piece.[shocked]
