Squarebill rod/reel/line

[PolarKraft195]

when fishing shallow shoreline cover, you guys are using 7'6" rods for throwing squarebills!

Dobyns 705CB Glass is the best I've used for my custom balsas

Here's a little video clip I did in action:

Yep, I really like the longer rods. Everyone is different so it is probably what you get yourself the most comfortable with. I two hand roll cast unless I'm pitching/flipping and the longer rods just work better for me. I have bad wrists so I can't one arm cast anymore with any accuracy anymore. I've found that my accuracy has dialed in from a 3' diameter circle to about a softball since going to the two handed roll cast.

When I pick up the square bill, I am throwing it the same places I throw a jig and then I can also get longer casts when needed to cover flats or open water patches between cover. The longer rod is second nature to me due to pitching/flipping so much and it let's me pitch them into the same type places I pitch a jig (under docks, shade pockets, under overhangs, etc.) Just my thoughts. I have very few rods, maybe 2 or 3, that are under 7'3". I had been using the 7' 705CB Glass or 705CBMF Glass but since going to the 765CB Glass I don't see myself going back. Thinking about trying another graphite rod though after seeing Civicrr's post on the 764 RMCB Rod on a different site...
