I suppose it depends - a good 7-foot rod today has enough backbone certainly, and 7-8 foot rods are good for soft plastic. But 9+ feet certainly gives you more pulling power and more room to play fish through the rocks. But are more guys using smaller rods? Certainly. So as a topic it is pretty strong.

I'm not going to critique other writers - there is no upside to it.

The problem with content in the mags is that they don't pay enough so you see stories that can be banged out in a few hours. One full page ad just about covers all the content cost paid to the freelancers for any given issue. They got the money to pay more - but they choose not to. Cripes - I paid Tim the same as The Fishermen would have - and I'm not a very big enterprise by any stretch.
