I see there are three sizes, 1.8M, 2.1M and 3.3M. Is there any benefit to having a longer rod like the 3.3M vs. the average length?

when fishing salmon or steelhead it' nice to get more leverage on them. The longer rod is a bit stiffer and can handle fairly largre fish.

i bought the short one and i'd advise you not to waste your money. i gave mine to the local sally ann!!

I use longer one due to the fact I use it or surf fishing and you can cast a lot farther.

I will be using mine without a reel. Take about 18 ft mono, tye one end where the reel go's,run the line through the eye's,then stretch out the rod.You now have 10 ft of rod and about 8 ft of line and hook an bait to swing out under a tree overhanging the water. You have to walk easy,keep way down,and creep up Swing out your bait and you should catch plenty. Worm or cricket or knock down out of a tree a wasp nest somewhere and use the white pupi inside. That is how i catch perch! answer to question The 10 foot rod gives me more reach without casting.

Only the same benefits as any longer rod.. Length of your rod depend on what and where you are fishing. However, structurally with this particular rod it doesn't matter. Just get the length you would with any another rod.

I used this over-sized (diameter) in my system and it works fine. I did need shorten the rod from 44" to 41" because of the shorter heater. I just used a hack-saw.

These rods are relatively short, about 5 1/2 feet total and are in one piece. This is a good length for head boat fishing, since you may have a roof over your head while fishing and will be less likely to bang your rod on the ceiling. Also, shorter rods are better for transporting in cars. If you fish mostly on open boats, however, you might prefer a slightly longer rod for more flexibility while fighting fish. I like a short rod for the reasons mentioned above.

The one I have is 3 1/2 inches long. Works fine for me. Don't really see the advantage of a longer handle. You don't need a death grip on it or a lot of leverage.

I believe mine came with a 12" rod which I cut in half to give better clerance. You can buy various length rods at local lumber yards such as Lowes and Home Depot.

We did not get the longest rod, but it is an exceptional quality and the tension is excellent.Each of these go a 30" min to max so I would guess that you would deduct that from the max and whatever is above the minimum would be incased. I could be wrong. We did not go to the max.

It comes with a 2" & a 3" down rod. If you need a longer one you will have to order one. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it does. You will want to order a rod in the length you need. They start at 6", I think and increase in 6" increments. Height over your head is important!

8 piece set. Each rod has two sizes. Smallest 1) is 3 and 4 mm, 2) 5 and 6mm, 3) 7 and 8mm, 4) 9 and 10mm, 5) 11 and 12mm, 6) 13 and 14mm, 7) 15 and 16mm and finally 8) 17 and 18mm.

I have the longest one they make and I think if you expand it beyond the intended length, you run the risk of the curtains weight to overpower the rod. I love mine. I ordered 3 to take care of a huge floor to ceiling window that runs 300 inches across. the finials are small enough to but up against each other. Good luck.

Length no problem but don't know if you will get three in the case unless large guides are off-set on each rod. You could easily fit two by simply flipping one over

I returned mine because it was too long. It is made for a 2 piece rod. Diameter was good for any rod.

The 3/8" unit is more accurate in the lower range that the 1/2" unit. However, both units are more accurate in their mid and upper ranges than their lower ranges--but still pretty fair. Use the unit you buy to test and adjust your wrench, then use the wrench. Accuracy is more critical on parts such as engine heads, main caps, connecting rod caps, etc. So, keep this in mind.

I don't have the rod with me, but the two sections are nearly the same length. I can't verify that they're both shorter than 4'6", but I think they are (8'6" MODEL.)

There is a small end and a larger end of the rod, because one rod fits inside of the other. The two ends (brackets, holders) also have different sizes. Make sure you have the correct end on the correct portion of the rod.

I can't imagine you'd have any trouble with two rods. Should fit no problem. The only issue you might have would be with the size of the guide rings on large rods. The width might get a little tight there. But I wouldn't expect it to be a problem unless you were talking 4 or more large rods.

There are many rod of this length. Both fresh and saltwater. My serf rods of choice are between 9 and 11 ft.I love Ugly sticks because you can use light to heavy test line and the fight is the same. If you go tall thenget something as light as you can.
