I am real happy with my 2 JDM rods, Yamaga Blue Current jig special and the Tict, they fill in all my light fishing duties, trout, crappie, and bream. For dock shooting I prefer a tough good ol' USA rod made in China. LOL.
I have mentioned it before, but Cadence sells a 1-piece 6'3" CS7 ML XF that is a great dock shooter with the extra-fast tip. I bought a spare from Amazon on sale for under $60 right now. It is also a fantastic finesse rod for bass. Put a Daiwa Regal 3000 on there for under $50 (10 bearings, and avail in 5.2:1 or 6.2:1 retrieve), and you have a great combo. I also have a 6' Denali dock shooter, and the ACC.
Right now, my most pressing need is a new crappie net, since my Jenko blew out of the boat somewhere yesterday.
