You must weigh about 120 pounds? If you are only casting 20 yards with your other rod I doubt you are casting 60 with the big stick! I am 6' 5" tall and 300 pounds SB and don't feel comfortable with anything over 10 feet....its just too darn much! I got a nice 1205 Arra that already wears me out when I cast it....my 9 foot 108-1 I can cast all day and night, get good distance and it handles fish nice.....I need more back bone for bigger fish, I got a 108-3 that can land large anywhere I want to fish. Get a niner boy......you get your uncle to bring you to MSBA Plug Night next week and we can talk.
