Should you pick a 9-foot or 10-foot rod? (30 of 30)

Should you pick a 9-foot or 10-foot rod?

There’s often an option between a 9-foot and a 10-foot fly rod for the same line size.  Both lengths offer different advantages depending on what type of conditions you encounter most often.  A 10-footer gives you advantages when mending line or making long casts, but a 9-foot fly rod is a better tool from a boat and offers a slight advantage in accuracy.  You can’t go wrong with either length so choose the best fly rod for your fishing.
