Think of a boat rod as an all around rod that you will use for bottom fishing, trolling chunking fish like bass blues cod.

A stand up rod is for big game fishing, tuna, sharks, marlin etc. Tends to be a short stout rod that can be put in a harness gimble to really put pressure on a fish by your body motion when you are "standing up"
