    Yes it does matter in water under 8 ft or so. It's more pronounced if you are fishing with someone who has 14 ft rods and you have the 16 ft version.

    My thought is that once you go with a 3 piece rod, go big.

    It's just what YOU like. Some are more comfortable with shorter rods, and some like em longer. The shorter poles have a bit more backbone and a bit less tip action.

    I haven't had a chance to compare a 14 to a 16 PST side by side but I have compared a 12 to a 16 at the same time and it made a huge difference that day but it's like so many things in this sport of crappie fishing some days it may not make a difference at all but we were fishing 5 feet deep in 8 - 10 foot water and it mattered big time. I have also compared 16 foot Capps and Colemans against PST's with 1/2 oz double minnow rigs and the C & C's win consistantly.

    We have had the pst's for years and tried the C & C's. I like the pst's better. The 14's work fine but it's time to upgrade. Thinkin about 16's

    DTG,
    I have been fishing with Capps and Coleman 12ft rods and they have worked good for me. Everybody is telling me that I need to go to the 14ft or 16ft rods, I have 2 of the PST 12ft and like them to. How much difference is the 12ft to the 14ft? You know I mostly fish Reelfoot so what are your thoughts?
