for the standard popping twitch a shorter rod

for twitching bigger water and giving the jig bigger drops i prefer a longer rod then the other style... i use 9'6"

i prefer softer tips on both rods.
i also have to use rods for multiple purposes so i dont have the "perfect" twitching rod.

i only fish bait casters too... unless its summer runs and im tossing like a 1/16th jig under a clear float with no weight or something...
