You hit the nail on the head Rob. Its all about the jig stick and how it releases its energy.
I have to thank/blame Josh for inciting this obsession with long rods.

In the last few years I have acquired many different jig sticks, 8 ft. to 12 ft. and had the opportunity to test them all until I found what I like best.

I never thought I would end up where I did - preferring the action of a 50 year old fiberglass jig stick over what is available today. This in itself poses a problem because they don't make them anymore, and if by some miracle the company were re-opened today, and the the men were alive to build them - the materials would not be the same to construct the rods the way they were back in the day.
