I hear ya Prof M. I like to think I'm a big 5'5" and I certainly have trouble with the old 10 foot Harnell I use for the big stuff. I do prefer conventional and have paired an Abu 7000 with an 8 foot factory All-Star. Handles fish well but sacrifices some distance and weight. Better for pluggin and jigs around 2 or 2.5oz. Still need to bring out the heavy stuff/ old Penn Squidder for the big jigs. And I'm weird and reel lefty so that limits my conventional choices.
