Dock/jig skipping rod length?

Featured Replies

I made myself a promise eariler on this year that was to start fishing docks. I have an internest in skipping docks with a baitcaster i know i won’t learn it in a day, but i think it will be a good learning experience.

 

Anyway im 5’8” alot of these pros like gerald swindle, or andy montgomery are over 6 feet in height. What length rod do i need? Im thinking a 6’8”, but who makes a rod that length that is for fishing docks?

 

Price point is varable right now just need some opinions on rod length, brand names, and specific rods you can recommend or point me in the direction of. 

 

 

Thanks,

Blake

You may find that 6'6" will serve you well for skipping docks.

7' mh lews tp-1 speed stick for skipping Texas rigs and jigs up to 1/2 oz for me.
