10 FOOT ROD

[Rojo]

I should have posted before but I personally use Mr Crappie 10# line on my Tree Thumpers. I snag so much it is easier to pull to straighten the hook then bend back. 1/16oz is the go to weight poured with a Mustad 2X Fine #2 hook. Bends easy enough to not disturb the cover too bad, but no lifting heavy fish, it will straighten when least desired.
BPS has these football shaped splits, I add a 1/16, I think #6 is the size split 5ft over the jighead for deep fishing. Usually if fishing deep 14+ feet I drop down to 1/32 #6 Sickle hook and up to 1/8 BPS Split still 5ft above jig. If I feel it stick to the cover I use the split to free the hook unless I set the hook thinking it was a fish.

Since using a spinning reel I loop the line under the spool line keeper to set my depth for deep fishing using the 10 footer..........

Never saw the point in a 10 ft. rod that has rear seat . Buy an 11 ft. you will be fishing 10 . jmo . Bucks best ultra-light or Sam Heaton .

I like the rear seat for the feel and balance... it fits me and the way I hold the rod... it has nothing to do with the length
