I bought many different rods for different lure weights and getting experience with them. Lately, I've been using a ten foot rod and finding control advantages teaching swim bait to swim where I want it to swim and doing that so well with confidence that I fish the weeds and rocks where others don't dare with expensive lures and caution me that I'll just lose my lure. Instead, I catch the big fish because they are bullies and run off smaller fish out of their spot.
The swim bait is more responsive to moving right or left or up over a rock to swim down my side or even jump out of the water before too much weed density to land at my feet.
Anyway, a 23 foot surf rod intrigues me. I'm tempted to buy one just to see if it has usefulness. But, I don't want to waste money on something that might not be useful, so please elaborate on your experiences with the hugely long surf rods. Please do so quickly so I can choose a best length for me.
