I always knew longer poles were better for dock shooting. They go further with less stressing and better aiming. Bend a short rod and you never know where they're gonna go. IMHO

Blaine's booth was packed at the Expo. Shadow wanted to introduce me to him and we never had a chance.
Cool, I need to check those out. Thanks for sharing
I saw him doing that live at the Expo. He could sure sling one with authority.
I will have to watch it at lunch.
Very accurate demo.
Pretty darn accurate. I have some dedicated dock shooting rods from B&M and Allstar. I also use a 7'6" Okuma on the lightest smallest jigs I shoot.
I have an 8ft Wally Marshal that works great like this.
the best dock shooters I ever seen use really stout 7 footers , thought it was interesting they used such long stout rods when most don't .
You can flat send a jig like a bullet with a long stout rod
that they did , clean thru to the other side of the dock every time , used heavy jigs with big bodies and some skipped a blooming mileQuote:

Wow. I like that. Thanks.
Very interesting! Thanks.
And to think I have been fussed at by a rod maker for casting with an 8ft jig pole. For sure that would definitely wear you out through the day using a rod that long.
