RE: long rods
Definition of a long rod seems to vary depending on where you grew up fishing. In the UK 12ft rods are "normal" and a 6-7ft rod is a really short rod. I have several 12ft rods of different weights and actions from light whip action to heavy Carp rod, and an 18 foot beach caster that allows me to hit the outer harbour dredging channel from the Wards island breakwater.

I have also used the 18ft as a pole rod and fished the middle of the island canals and weed banks for perch, using a single maggot and without casting at all. Looked crazy, but was fun and effective!

Common practice among roach fisherman in the UK.
