    I don't remember, but it has a casting trigger on the bail so that I can cast with just one hand.

    I have found the rods that work best for Me is also what is the best for shooting Docks. Instead of the Road Runner just a small light Weight Jig

    Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2, 6.5'. Toss with a 10/2 braid with the reel of your choice. Skip's lightweight road runners go the distance.

    I use the 7' Sam Heaton with a Shimano Spirex 1000. I love the Spirex reels, but will try a Syncopate next as they are half the price. I did end up with one Spirex that had an odd 'catch' to it, so I now try them in the store before I pick one out.

    I used to use a 7' Bionic Blade IM8 - Shimano Spirex 2000 - PowerPro 10/2 hi-vis braid.

    Now I just use my regular jig casting / dock shooting outfit ... 6'6" ESP PowerLite Rod - Shimano Stratus STX20 - 6lb test hi-vis Vicious Panfish copolymer line. But, if that's already got a jig on it, I will go to my 6' Ardent rod/reel combo outfit - 6lb test hi-vis Vicious Panfish copoly line.

    I've tried em all and always go back to the zebco 2020 reel and bought a cheap casting rod from bass pro. It's yellow and works well throwing a 1/16 jig for me.

    Expensive or cheap is not the question, it's the skill of the operator and you sir, have it mastered.
