Wally Marshall Speed Shooter Rod

The Lew's Wally Marshall Speed Shooter Rod is a signature crappie series co-designed with Wally Marshall, a competitive dock-shooter known for long-distance crappie casts under docks and structure. The rod is built specifically around the dock-shooting technique. Skipping light jigs and tube baits under low-clearance cover. Where fast loading, accurate trajectory, and a sensitive tip are more important than raw power.

It also covers general crappie and panfish spinning with 1/16–1/4 oz presentations on 4–10 lb line. The blank is IM8 graphite with a fast action. Stainless steel guides, a skeletal reel seat, and EVA grips keep overall weight low. The action was tuned by Marshall to load quickly on the forward cast and release predictably, a key requirement for consistent shooting accuracy under dock corners and boat lifts.

All three models are ML-power spinning rods with fast action, sharing the same line and lure ratings: WMSS60ML at 6'0", WMSS66ML at 6'6", and WMSS70ML at 7'0". No heavier-power or casting variants exist in the series. Longer models provide increased reach for flipping and swinging presentations; the 6' is the preferred choice for tight dock shooting.
