5'6" is perfect for standup tuna

I prefer a 6 footer. There is more action in the rod and especially with outboards it allows you to have more control over the fish. Plus your fishing pictures look cooler with a longer rod doubled over! Good luck

If you have a clean transom 5'6" is perfect ,I would go 6' if you have outboards or a bracket to get around
