Dock shooting rod

[Badcast]

Any recomendations. I had a micro lite that I thought would work but my Nephew broke it last fall learning to cast. Not mad tho, time to upgrade. Whats your setup,where did you get your rod, and how much.

I tried using a micro light at first, but it was too flimsy. Need somthing with a strong backbone so you can get some velocity on the shots, to get the jig waaayyy back under the docks. I bought a G-Loomis GL2 Fast Action, Light 5'4". When you bend that one back you've got some energy comming out. I know $150 rods arent for everyone, but lifetime gaurntee, and its also my best dock casting rod too, very sensitive.

I had a couple of the Cherrywood 10 ft rods. They were pretty nice rods. They had the reel seat about 3 inchs from the end of the rod.

What length do you guys use, is shorter better.

I use a 6'6" med. light but I do use a 5'6" for tight spaces when I need to. Its just what you get use to shooting with. I've seen guys use a 7' to a 4' so its you choice.

I've got a 4'6" microlight that I like to use. I also use a 5'5" med action and it does a good job.

I just bought a 5' Berkley Cherrywood after breaking about 6" off of a 5'-6". I think shorter could be better in tight spaces.
