The next size up is 14’2”. They don’t do a 14’6” in the Sandstorms. I was of similar thinking to you, in that I wasn’t sure about buying the longer rods but after having a chat with casting legend John Holden I decided to try the 14’2”s. (He said that I could always hacksaw a bit off the butt if I thought they were too long! ?? )

The longer rods are a bit more awkward for transporting but they do seem to have made casting a bit easier, as the longer length has allowed me to slow down slightly. Other than that, I haven’t noticed a lot of benefit.
