I too typically carry longer rods in my ODC (two 7ft baitcasting rods for bass and one 6'6" spinning rod for everything in between). But, as you said, short rods definitely have their place. they are great from the tube when you want to get a low trajectory to shoot a lure into hard to reach places (i.e. under trees, docks, etc...)
Ultimately, it is good to have multiple rods for many different situations. I also like using a smaller, heavyweight rod for flipping & pitching tubes and jigs into pockets in pad fields. The shorter rod makes it easier to control from the tube. Just out of curiosity, what do the rest of you use for different techniques?
