TH,
Why do you suppose the 9'6" is your biggest seller vs. a 10 or 10'6"? From what I gather reading everyone's comments about jig fishing the longer rod would give better line control.

Is there a certain point to where the added benefit doesn't equal or justify the added length?

I emailed you the other day about building me a rod, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to decide on one of the three lengths.
