Question: Dock shooting jig head weight

[GA ANGLER]

I use a 6'6" ESP PowerLite rod ... and especially like it because of the extra fast tip action. I've shot docks with everything from a 5' UL to a 8' FnF rod to a 6' heavy action rod .... settling on the 6'6" ESP after all was said & done. Oddly enough, my dock shooting "mentor" used a med action 6' Bass outfit .... but, that was mainly because he already had them & saw no reason to buy anything "specifically" designed for shooting docks.

I have a few 5.6’ ultralight action rods I use. They work great. Longer rods work too, but if you are close to your target the short rod works better I think.

Are you guys using graphite or fiberglass rod?
