This model is 6'6\" with a mod-fast action, while the KH-69MLC-F is 6'9\" with a fast action. The 6'6\" Mod-Fast emphasizes a more compact working length and additional give through the blank, while the 6'9\" Fast provides more length and a more tip-oriented response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes the short handle make sense for kayak fishing?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 8.25-inch handle leaves less rear grip extending behind the angler than a longer casting handle. That can be useful in a seated kayak position where the seat, PFD, and limited cockpit space can interfere with longer handles during repeated casts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Old 18","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48445153870042,"sku":"KH-66MLC-MF","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/9732\/1627\/files\/KH-66MLC-MF.png?v=1787190086","url":"https:\/\/pescadorfishing.com\/products\/old-18-knighthawk-66-medium-light-casting-rod-mod-fast","provider":"Pescador Fishing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
