Fine enough from the bank, with the right line. To be honest, same can be said of most rods.......
Folk get 'hung up' on length 'issues', although it would be fair to say (IMHO) that the 10ft Westerns were primarily designed for boat fishing it'll be fine from the bank.
Honest.
No.... really, it will  :z16
