Wally Marshall pro crappie rod is on sale. I was hoping you could tell me if the 8' rod is easy to cast from shore?

I do a lot of shore fishing :D

I have used a 10 ft from the shore with no problems in fact i like it a lot if you have a little slack 10 ft of rod picks that up real quick.

is no different than casting from a boat, given that you have free range to swing the rod :p
Depending on "what" you are casting, and the distance you need to achieve, most any 7-8ft rod should do the job.

That rod will work well casting from shore,I sometimes use mine casting out slipfloat rigs from shore.

You should also check out Bass Pro's Float 'n' Fly rod. I have the 8'6" model and it's great for tossing jigs when wading or shore fishing. They're on sale, too:

If I'm fishing a float from shore (which is about 95% of the time), I like a 12-14 footer -- something like this:

Thank you all for the info on rod length and casting. I also like the fly rod info also.

The 8' rod should be a fine rod for whatever type of shore fishing you do.
