Fishing rod length depends on the certain bait you are throwing. If you are throwing a texas-rigged worm, a lighter, shorter rod is a good choice, such as a 7'3" medium action rod. For throwing a big, heavy swimbait, a 7'9" heavy action rod would be a good choice.
Rods come in a number of different actions, which means the flexibility and the stiffness of the rod. Actions vary from light to extra heavy. There really is a rod made for every technique possible.
