New Dock Shooter

I had the pleasure of being asked to try out a prototype rod designed for dock shooting from MajorCraft rods USA dealer Carlos Rivera
As soon as I picked it up I knew it was something special. The Ergo Fuji hand grip fit my hand perfectly and at less than 4 ounces it was light as a feather. I could not wait to pair it with one of my coveted Pflueger President Limited Editions reels.
The rod is a SpeedStyle NANO 6’4”, sss-64ul Ultra Lite, lures 1/32 - 1/4, line 2-8 lb. with Fuji Ergo powergrip handle and the new Fuji K frame concept guides.
But I knew the proof would be in the on water performance. I was not disappointed. First time I drew the lure back the ultra lite tip at first did not seem like it would have sufficient power but as I pulled past my grip the power in the backbone took over and the lure was propelled 40 ft to the “dark” side! AND it had the backbone to flip a 12 incher in the boat!
Bottom line. I have now used the rod on three trips, 50 plus Crappie, and it has performed flawlessly. My dock shooting skills have improved tremendously because of the quality of this rod. It is a game changer for me.
Contact Carlos at www.riveratackle.com for more info about this exciting new rod.

I talke dto Carlos.all was well til he got to price. Way out of my range but sounds like a good product. Now looking for Lews speed shooter. At the crappie xtravangaza Wally said it goes for $49.99 . I like my 4'6" rods for dock shook-ting but would like 2 8' rods. With the way most are built the back foot is wasted. Going out on cc tomorrow with a friend.Hope to help him lean his new boat, terrova with anchor spot, and Simrad graphs.Hopefully run into a fish or two also.

I cant imagine using an ultralight for shooting docks.

Troy , all I use is 4'6" ultralight. Have not seen a crappie that I cant sling up......yrt

last year hung a 23 1/2 black bass on it. Took awhile but i got her in.

Sorry I missed to Murvaul haul. Have not seen or heard any results. That means It was fantastic or abust lol I better have a boat by next one.

We had a really good Get together..the results are on the thread...I was wondering what happened to you.

Concerning that ultralight would you boat flip these?

Of the Dock Shooting Rod!

Eric, send me a PM...we need to discuss Jigs for dock shooting...

Troy, you have gained some weight since that pic!...

And I am still mad because I was too full to eat some cherry cheesecake and homemade ice cream before I had to leave...

Good rods.
I got to demo a nanoace finesse spinning rod for bass. I liked the feel so much I ended up buying it LOL. I have been using it for crappie ever since.
very good rods for dock shooting and open water fishing.

Tried to post pics using I phone and iPad and kept getting message jpg only can be used. Anyone with suggestions?

I would with the new rod!

Our Academy carries them. I bought one at $45 and like it well enough although I don’t like the eyes. They are aluminum and I just prefer a ceramic guide.

Email em to yourself from phone or I pad download them to your photo gallery then post em

Apple announced that it would be switching over to a high-efficiency photo format with the release of its next operating system. HEIF promises the same quality images—or sometimes even better—in much smaller files along with some other upgrades.
Compatibility is almost always an issue with switches like this, and while Apple has tried its best to make the transition seamless, there are exception
