Fishing Yo-yo iron does not usually involve much casting so a shorter rod is fine. Some thing 6-7 feet long range is ideal. I use graphite for all my bait rods but for irons I still like glass. You know when you're bit and a glass rod absorbs the shock better than graphite, imo. I wrapped a calstar WC670, I think that was the blank, for yoyoing. Not high tech, heavy glass, rated for 40lb, with a slightly soft tip. Worked great.
As for irons, the salas 6x jr and the tady 9 are always winners. Mike
