What Rod to use for dock fishing

[Larry313]

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....

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.
