I single pole with 11.5ft to 13.5ft mostly. Two poles at the same time 9ft-11ft. Extra long reach for doodle-socking 15.5ft. I cut 6 inches off the butts of every non-Tennessee Reel seat rod I buy so the butts don't hit me in the ribs while fishing. I keep my index finger at the top of the grip resting on the blank.
