I've got a couple of 6' Med. action Lightning Rods that I use. I wish they were 7'ers. They work great and the price will be right.

Berkley makes a lightning rod endorsed by Gary Roach that is built for pulling planner boards. (telescoping handle) I'd suggest 8' long and get them all alike. It will make learning much eassier.
