I never see any posts about rods less than 6'. The only rods under 6' I see in tackle shops have pistol grips. Are there any trigger rods under 6' ? Dose anyone still use short rods? If so, what lures do you fish with?

out of my 5 rods, 3 are 5' 6".  Alot has to do with preference.  I used to fish from a smaller boat, so a short rod was easier and compact.  I like using this short mh to h action rod to fish with buzzbaits and spinnerbaits.  With this short rod you can't cast as far, but you can get under heavy cover such as trees fallin in the lake or syprus trees much easier.  A longer rod is used usually for worms, but again it has alot to do with preference.  Some people may disagree

Oh yeah, its more accurate too in my opinion.

I have 3 or 4 that I use when fishing in the cypress tree's. I have 2 M/H that I fish plastic's on.

I have 12 of them i use um more then my trigger rods cuase i like to be accurate at close range does me well i use mostly jigs with mine and spinnerbaits depending on how they are biting.Anyone have any for sale let me no??

My next rod will most likely be 6' or shorter so I can put a jig or soft plastic right in the spot I want on a bus or laydown.

Another thread about shorter rods. I have a 5'6" stick.
