I hate to admit but I am one of those new guys... beathead

I made the mistake of buying a 7 footer and am in the process of righting that wrong...

is 10.5 a good all around pole or should I stick to something like 8.5? I tried my buddies 10.5 and it is nice but is it the right one? I can cast so that answers that question...

feel free to chuckle - a little humility is good for the soul what
