Definately go 8ft. I have a 3ft and it is useless for anyone out my view even in the broads. Even boats in view in the broads I sometimes get crackle transmission. I am going to an 8ft next spring too.
Thanks all for your input...8 footer it is, now if I can just stop myself from buying two more downriggers that I don't need!
I just put a new 9'6" Shakespeare model 399 on my whaler. It works great.
