I have a 13 whiteout 16.5″ that works excellent for sight fishing. However, they no longer make it. I have yet to find another decent sight fishing rod that doesn’t break the bank. If I did it a lot, I would look at a Maestro, but it’s a once or twice a season thing for me. All I can say is to avoid the Jason Mitchell Sight fishing rods, they’re too light and whippy.
