Is it long enough to hold a sabiki with 6 hooks?

Show price is $10 less than Amazon Prime:

Is this Amazon feedback comment accurate or misleading?:

"it's okay but not all sabiki lures will fit - you have to use the smaller hooks and not long enough for more than 4 drops. Build quality is good - no issues with construction. It is sturdy but not sure I would recommend it since it does have a few drawbacks - small hooks only and when you are using more drops there is no place to secure the line"

I think it's a 7' rod. It seems like a normal 6-hook sabiki rig should fit. Right?



Sabiki rod weights, 10 for $12:

I made these compact size handy-andy floating sabiki hook removers. Might be nice to have a rod to go with them.
