I fished 9 footers at the canal for several years (even though I had used up to 12 footers on the beach for over 20 years) . Much easier with the 9 footers at the canal do to no problem with brush behind you and easier to land fish if perched up on a rock. When I switched to the 10 foot 1205 I had to adjust so as not to snag the bushes behind me. Landing the fish you just get used to it. The extra foot did help casting. Going to 11 is another major step up. I suppose cutting an 11 footer is always an option. Like you Chris , a lot of people use 11 footers with no issues. Now if you fish right at the waterline with a very slow slope behind you , the 11 feet would be an advantage.
