Doodle Socking Rod

[Kevin22]

Looking for suggestions on a decent rod for doodle sockin. Hopefully when you are done googling "doodle sockin" you will have time to make a suggestion Looking in the 10-12' range.

Why not just get BnM's Ray Scott jiggerpole? Designed for it.

My opinion only I use Sams 9ft from BPS they are 2 piece but have held up well. I use 10lb 2lb diameter line and usually the 9 fter is long enough to reach the jig or the 10lb can mostly straighten the hook. all the rods above are a good choice. good luck with your fishing.

PS a friend of mine thought I was pulling his leg about Doodle socking he had never of such thing.

Todd Huckabee Pro series. Its 10' 6". Very stiff backbone and soft tip. You can pull a 2 lb'er to the top and flip him on the boat, no problem. Only downside is its a little heavier than most, but with a baitcaster on it, it will balance right in front of the reel. Best jigging/dippin pole out there!! IMHO. Second would be a BoneHead 10' er. These are Carbon rods. Light, plenty of backbone, but an be a little fragile during transport and knockin around the boat. Either of these rods are $90-$100 ea. Worth it!! You can get by with a lesser rod (I did for years!!!!), but why??? You wont regret it.

Doodlesocking/jiggerdoodling/doodling is bass fishing heavy vegetation with long stiff pole and usually about 3' of heavy 100lb braid. Just slapping the surface with a skirted hook causing a commotion that draws angry strikes from heavy bass. Dont think a Sam Heaton or any other panfish stick would fill the task unless his interpretation is something totally different. Most I have seen doing it use a 20' cane pole cut down to 12' - 14' to be strong enough. Heart attack fishing for sure.

I agree. Would like to hear Kevin's interpretation on this technique.
