I have two noodle rods; a Browning and a Lamiglas. I believe... both are 10'6." The Lamiglas is the far better rod with lighter weight and higher sensitivity. I use 6lb. test line and leader on a Shimano spinning reel for low water and summer run steelhead. Also, these rods make great shore fishing tools for the large rainbows at Rufus Woods Lake. The Europeans have been using the long rod/light line application for lake shore fishing for years.
