For bucktails and topwaters on the Chip, what rod length do you prefer? Also how do you compare more expensive rods (e.g. St. Croix premier series) with less expensive ones (e.g. St. Croix mojo series)? In other words, do you think the cost is worth it? Lastly, what about split grip rods? Thanks in advance. I get more out of this board than anything out there.
