I am using a custom 10'6" 1264 made by NCR that loads up really nice, & I usually have my rod tips about 1-2 feet off the water surface. I would say that I know when I have a shaker on 80% of the time.

My question was really to obtain all of your opinions about what length release do you think works best and if the length makes any difference?
