Target species? I am guessing gills but would help knowing..
Longer rods have their advantages like being able to jig standing up and shorter have the advantage in side ice shanties.. as for rods I would go for a lite action and use a spring bobber the stiffer action give a better hook up on fast spitting gills once the bobber twiche's..
I prefer a little stiffer rod with a spring bobber. I use a med light rod.
