Fishdoc, If you are planning on jigging these rods the advantage of the longer rod would be that you can cover more area with a longer rod every time that you raise and lower the rod tip. I might run one of the 6 footers off the downrigger (Mediun heavy action) but I think if you didn't want to get into a longer jigging stick because of your childrens' age I would go with the 6.6 rods. You can do anything with them, I have one that sometimes I throw chunks into the rocks with and I have yet to have a problem. Hope this helps.
