Browning® Fishing SilaFlex Spinning Rods
In the 1960's, Browning pioneered the development of fiberglass rods... and in so doing, created a legend. Crafted of proprietary Hi-Density tubular fiberglass, a SilaFlex rod offered the most advanced technology of the day--the ideal blend of light weight, strength, flexibility and sensitivity. Today's SilaFlex is true to the original (if you've owned one, your hand hasn't forgotten the feel!). Same quality blanks, same classic actions, upgraded with aluminum oxide guides, premium cork handles and lightweight graphite reel seats for exceptional handling all around.

I plan to go at least once a week this year to my local ponds Im buying this rod this week and pairing it with this > Pflueger® President® XT.Im going to be fishing spinners, plastics, live bait, & whatever else I have in my box. I usually grab my 7' rod now and take that. But im curious what you think I should get the 7' or the 6'6" ?
do 7' 'ers cast further ? I assume they do... ?
sometimes I will have a row boat / canoe others will just be from shore.
...oh & what do you recommend for line ? test / brand ?
thanks in advance !

A:
I fish both salt water and fresh water. I like to be consistant with my rods and whether spinning or bait casters, I like 6'6" rods. You may be able to cast further with a 7' rod, but I get a lot of distance with the 6'6" rods and really don't think the difference would be noticeable. I use 10 lb. test line on this outfit which is MH and 8 lb. on my spinning outfit with a M rod. I use 12 lb. on all my baitcasters regardless of the flex of the rod.

If I'm in a boat I prefer the 7' rod, if I'm fishing from shore I prefer a 6'6" model. It really depends on how much brush you will have to contend with fishing from shore. If the shoreline is clear I would go with the 7' model. You can get a little more on your cast with the longer rod.On spinning gear I prefer fluorocarbon line in 6-10lb test depending on the size of the reel. I prefer Spiderwire 100% fluoro but the Bass Pro XPS 100% Fluoro is pretty good too.
