here in alaska most of our fishing is at those depth or deeper. the rod length should be pair with the size of the boat.a skiff sixteen or under should be a short rod. the long rods do well on larger boats where one can walk around. as for the roller tip grouper are not that fast to require a roller but to each is own.
