They were pretty short. The hoo was Maybe 4.5 foot and the dolphins were 2 to 3 footers.

Longer fly rods give better performance.  :icon_thumright:

Had not done a whole lot of fly fishin, but I can whip a fish quicker on a longer rod.

It's not the length, it's how you wiggle it...

My dedicated turkey shooter has a 28" barrel and about 2 more inches of extended Super Max choke tube sticking out of it.  In the woods the occasional times I wish I had a shorter barrel is when I have it slung over my shoulder and hit a branch or something while walking.  I've taken to having the sling on my shoulder but the gun hanging horizontally under my arm, like a jousting lance.  Makes it easy to point in the right direction as I'm walking.  I also have a scope on my gun, so the sight radius argument is moot.  All that being said, I still like the idea of the longer barrel.

I have a 20" on a Moss 835 with a Indian Creek choke that is very lethal out to 50 yards with #4 Xtended Range
