Long!  That one word describes the main difference between European Carp rods and the traditional rod of the North American fisherman.  Rods of 11'-14' are commonly used by European and U.K. anglers while in search of big Carp.

A long rod offers significant advantages to the bank fisherman.  Number one is casting distance.  With the 11' Cabela's predator rods that I use, I can easily cast 100 yards.

A long rod also gives that extra cushion effect that is needed when fighting large fish on no-stretch super braid lines.  

For me though, the extra leverage that the long stick gives me is the most important feature.  I am able to guide fish around obstacles and snags that I can't when using the short rods.
