Rod Do Overs

Personally, I like my topwater rods to be shorter than my other rods.  My canoe rod is 5'3" medium power, just a typical fast action.  My jetboat rod is 6 ft. medium power as well.  I just like the way the shorter rods work in using walk the dog topwaters.  Others' mileage may vary.  But from the canoe, the shorter rod really does make a difference in how easy it is to walk those lures; the shorter rod means a better rod angle with tip down, while sitting in the canoe.

The rod you made sounds like it might work well as a crankbait rod.
