I finally gave in and tried that 6-foot rod method after years of fighting it

Old timer named Frank at the supply house kept telling me to switch to a 6-foot rod for those tight 90-degree flues, but I always stuck with my 4-footer out of habit. Last week in Boston I had a job where I couldn't get past the second bend, so I grabbed one of the long rods from the truck. How many of you actually use the longer rods or do you think it's just hype?

Nah @gray_patel's buddy must have been using a cheap one. Never had a good long rod snap on me.

Saw my buddy Dan snap one clean off in a chimney last Tuesday.
