i have over 200 jig poles. i have from 8 footers to 14 footers. it all depends on how im fishing as to which ones i use. when im holding a jig pole in each hand, i opt for the 8-10 footers. they are much lighter. when i spider rig, i use the longer ones since i dont have to hold them. the advantage of a longer pole is you can reach the structure with out having to get right on top of it. good luck and get ya one and try it. you will love it!!
