Most of the rods I use for various things are 7ft. I wanted to try to concentrate a little more on dock fishing this season and was thinking of using a 5'9" rod instead making it easier especially when someone else is in the boat. Anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks
I use a 6ft for skippin. More acurate than a 7ft.
I use a 6' for docks and pontoons also. Much more accurate.

I use a 6' President Spinning Combo I got on sale at Gander Mountian. Good control and with 10lb XT it works great around wood.
I used a 6' spinning Powell for around docks. But I have found that I suck just as bad with it as I did with the 7' rod. So I'm going back to it.... ;D
I use a 6'6" MH spinning rod for dock fishing lighter baits and skippin'. I will use a 7'3" MH bait caster if I'm pitchin' to them.

6' MH spinning rod and powerpro will skip anything and I get just as many bites as with fluorocarbon and the line doesn't break when they get you around a pole.
I used a 6'6" MH st.croix mojo bass casting rod. Works good for me on skippin and accuracy. Does everyone else use spinning gear for skipping?!?
custom 6'6" MH spinning, 7' if casting.
