Don't own any Kistler's that short Brian.  Actually I only have one Kistler LTA left at 6'-6", everything else is 6'-9" or longer.  If you looking for a "dock skipping" rod - I use the 6'-6" MH LTA spinning rod, it does a really good job.  I do have a Pflueger IM8 spinning rod I used for skipping baits, before investing in Kistler.  It's a 6'0" Heavy.  $40 if you'd be interested in that.

this was my rattle trap rod. so light and easy to handle, i loved it until i decided to make it a 2 piece  :rolleyes:

Actually this year I broke my first rod - locker lid closed on it.  OUCH.  Then a couple weeks ago I broke a second one - smallie broke it up at Blue Marsh.  Lifted the fish onto the deck, went to lay down the rod to unhook it - fish started flopping around and I grabbed the rod about 2' from the tip and darm if that fish didn't snap 5" off the end.  I still let him go.  :undecided:  You were just a little slow - Pillager bought the perfect trap rod yesterday.  :grin:  HEY, I bet I could make you a 6'3" approx. MH out of the broken rod.  It's a Graphite Plus if you want to try it.  Don't have to buy if you doesn't work or you don't like it.

Brian - I would say a 6' 6" is better anyways.  In fact, a 7'0" might even be ideal.  You get more sweep if you are pumping/yo-yo'ing the trap, plus xtra rod to take up slack if you get hit after ripping free of a grss clump or something

I use 6/6" medium for trapping, and am thinking I might go 7' in the future with a little heavier action for heavy grass ripping...medium just is too much work for lots of grass applications...

If you want a rod for traps - I have a Diawa Pro Caster a 6'-6" med/mod casting rod.  I used that for traps and spinnerbaits - I like the moderate action when dealing with treble hooks. Eli bought one off me a while ago, you could check in with him on how he likes it.  My nephew has borrowed it for now, but I can get it back if you're interested, you won't spend a lot of money for that.  The other option is still offered - the Graphite Plus I broke was 7'-0" med/mod that is now just about 6'-7".  I put a new tip on it and moved the (now) second line guide back mid-way between the tip and 3rd eye.  It's just a tad stiffer on the tip than the 6'-6" rod Dave C. just bought.  This rod is a composite blank, works really good with treble hooks.  I heven't tried it yet, but you can try that one before you decide.  I don't know why I'm trying so hard to help you out. :rolleyes:
