As per my title, do people think short rods give less control over a hooked fish.?
Case in point I hooked a small common carp (around 3lb) on my 9’ ledger rod last night. It managed to do nearly a full circuit of my swim ploughed itself through my float and tangled all that tackle to itself. Pretty sure if I’d have caught it on my lighter float set up with a 13’ rod I would have had more control.
