Never really cared for whippy type rods, but it seems the conventional wisdom supported them for dock shooting...well, imagine my surprise when that notion got knocked off its pedestal by a stiff bass rod with a fast tip...it wasn’t even a contest as to which rod/reel combo was better...as I always say, you are never too old to learn, you just have to be willing to do so...

I will also add to get you some 1/16 oz jig heads with the straight wire keeper (bent at a 45 degree angle back towards the head) from Redgun on here and then get you some Lip Ripper baits or Constant Pursuit baits which are much more durable (harder plastic) so you won't have to keep re-positioning your bait after every shot. A dab of gel super glue on your bait before you slide it up all the way on the jighead will work too. I always use a loop know when dock shooting to allow the bait a natural fall.

I have a Shakespeare 5.5 with a phleuger reel and it is controllable but still 'whippy'. I use hi-vis suffix. I'm not new to it just wanted better equipment.
