I've never done any dock shooting but I do enjoy casting for crappie and I am in the market for a quality casting rod capable of casting a 1/32 - 1/8. Sounds like I'd be happy with any of the rods highlighted in this thread. However, equally as important, what's a great reel compatible to these rods to make this set up complete, balanced, effective and most functional for what I've mentioned. Not trying to high jack the thread, just figured you guys would know best ! Thanks and congrats on the purchase, hope it serves you well !
