Hi Everyone.  I'm looking for some suggestions on a pretty simple question because I cant seem to make up my own mind. I am trying to decide between a 7'1' MH and a 7"4" MH rod for throwing jigs and Texas rigs.  I have decided on the Helium 3 but cant decide what length.  Any suggestions and is this a good choice for my intended purpose?  I've never owned a Kistler and I am more familiar with the Avid X, Orochii's etc.

    I bought 7'1" last year, simply because I thought pitching it seated in kayak would be easier.  Never used the 7'4", but I have to think that it is quite similar action, power, etc.

    As to whether it will be a good jig rod....absolutely.   It is a joy to pick up every time

    7’1” would be my choice. But it’s a personal preference.
