7-foot rod compatible with piers?

Hi all,

I used my 7-foot rod at Mornington Pier and it worked suitably well. However, it is properly appropriate for pier fishing? :water:

Thanks,

~~ :water: FISHING IS AWESOME :water: ~~

Depends what you are fishing for and how far you wanna cast. If it worked well for you then stick with it :)

There's more to it than just as simple as rod length. But generally yes, you can use 7ft rod on piers.

I have a pair of 7 foot nibble tip rods which I use only on piers - catches plenty of whiting, flathead, pinkies etc. I found it the ideal size for soaking baits while I flick squid jigs/plastics around with an 8 foot.
