Rod length

[flyhaven]

Would a 36" noodle rod be alittle too long in a flip over?Not sure if the average one man flip over would leave enough room to fish comfortably depending on hole placement.Seems some like the longer rods for hole hopping.

Depends on the flipover but for your average everyday flipover, it may be a little cramped. Pistol gripping your rod will give a few extra inches to work with though. Most major manufacturers have dimensions listed on their websites. I’d go to them and see what they say then measure it out on the floor and see what it looks/feels like.

36" to me is a hole hopping rod.great when jigging standing up.longest ive done in a flipover is 30" and that was too long.my rod tip kept hitting the door on the hookset.24" is a good length for a flipover.

Agree with the good dr on this one.  I need to get on the stick and build up my new blanks I have so I have some shorter rods for my flip over.....my 28 and 30 inches are a bit long.....I was 'simulating' a shorter rod last weekend and that was def the ticket....so 24 would be perfect.....

36" is way too long for most flip overs.   you watch these kids on the youtube videos trying to fish with hole hopping rods and its pretty hilarious...they look ridiculous.

Thanks...Confirmed what I kind of was thinking..

Fish a 32” rod in my clam flipover.  Have hit the roof a couple times on hookset....learned to fish a little further away and jig a little closer to the hole.  I would not go longer than 32” in a flipover and that may very well be too long for a noodle rod where you need to come up further for a good hookset.

i have found in my clam 1 man that 28 is the limit.

I have a Otter XT Cabin, wouldnt want a rod longer than 32", unless I was fishing alone and at an angle in the flipover

I can do 32" in shappell fx200 but that's the max. I cant do over 24" in my frabill recon. Any length in my hub.
