9' 5 wt. or 8 1/2' 5 wt.?
I'm buying one of these rods to fish for small bass and bluegill out of my kayak with the low and clear water levels in the river now. Given the two are the same manufacturer, the same model and line weight and both medium fast action rods, which would be better for throwing #6 poppers to smallmouth bass and bluegills on my local river, the 9' 5 wt. or the 8 1/2' 5 wt. and why?

It comes with two rod tips. Here is Gary test casting an entire fly line with that rod during product development. I got the rod at wholesale and the sale price is less than that. I bought two of these rods because I liked them so much.
