10'+ Rods for Truman Tailrace

I have built a lot of rods in the past but carpal tunnel and the price of new rods make is less than desirable. My go to 10 ft rod is a Sam Heaton that I use two poling in the dead water. I’m sure it would do what you need.

Now if I am reading this correctly you want the longer heavier rods for fishing the discharge area of the dam. Not in what we call the dead water. In the dead water light action rods work great but I am thinking you are looking for a heavier casting rod with a light tip for fishing the fast water when they are running water. So all the two poling and spider rigging setups are out.

I was just making a joke. Jeff has nice rods and I use em when I’m in his boat.

I know he has used Jenko rods before and fishes by boat just below the no boating zone of the tailrace. I mainly fish the no boating zone from the riprap bank up closer to handicap pier. Hence why I am searching for a longer rods for longer casting and keeping fish out of the riprap.
