Default home made Mobile Ant

I have a old 2 piece hollow 11 ft surf rod in the shed and need a mobile antenna and a sand flag on my Jeep Wrangler. I thought I would be able to do both with the fishing rod.
Question 1. How much minimum wire would I need to load it up on all Hf Freqs (I have a tuner).
Question 2. Could I bottom load it with a coil?
It would be connected to the tuner with RG 58 coax (about 10 ft).
