no prob, night. yeah, it is weird. and i'm left-handed in some stuff too...

shore, there are so many obstacles to consider in a custom rod. sometimes the angler knows best or what they want, other times they put their judgement in what the builder says. when you consider the differences between a 9' and 10' rod, it's usually not much, when it's the same powered blank plus a foot. but, that foot can play a vital role. usually in keeping the line off rods/structure, or in the cast. distance is usually minute when you compare the 2. if you talk about chunking as in your question, a 9' rod is not the best for length, under normal circumstances. most like a longer rod around 11' or more on the beach to keep the line off and out of the waves when the rod is spiked. you may see slightly more distance. go to hatteras w/ a 9' rod to chunk and you won't be catching. if distance is not an issue to the angler, as is in most situations around the northeast, a 9' rod could be used. so, as i said, a lot is determined by where the angler plans on fishing and how they plan on fishing.
