A shorter rod  for bushwhacking -- a 8 and a half to 9 foot for normal fishing situations (if there is such a thing) -- and longer rod to make it easier to lift the line from the water when float-tubing, for mending the line when steelheading and for surf-fishing or saltwater-fishing from shore.     ----- Original Message ----- From: John Martinez To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 9:06 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] flyrods Easier mends, easier rollcasts and easier one-hand spey casts, too.                                                      -John  Dan Gober <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: the long the rod the easier it is to cast. plus a longer rod is a bit more forgiving when playing a fish. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed none To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 10:15 AM Subject: [VFB] flyrods I'm  kind of new  to  flyfishing  I have a  8ft   6wt   rod.
