Wally Marshall Speed Shooter Rods

Short-to-medium spinning rods designed for dock shooting, the technique of skipping a jig horizontally under floating docks and pontoons to reach crappie holding in the shade. Wally Marshall, the rod's namesake, is a recognized competitor in this specific technique. The rods prioritize a fast, low-trajectory cast and quick tip recovery for repeated accuracy. IM8 graphite blanks, a step above the Crappie Thunder line, with an American Tackle Microwave Air guide system that reduces weight compared to standard stainless guides.

Lew's proprietary graphite skeletal reel seat. Neon green EVA split-grip handles serve as a visual identity feature. Patented no-foul hook keeper. Fast action across all models. ML power handles 1/16-1/4 oz jig heads typical for crappie dock work on 4-10lb line. Four spinning models in escalating length: WMSS56MLG2 (5'6"), WMSS60MLG2 (6'), WMSS66MLG2 (6'6"), WMSS70MLG2 (7'). All share identical power, action, line, and lure ratings, the only variable is length.

Shorter models aid casting accuracy in tight dock situations; longer models add reach and leverage for larger crappie or more open water. All are 2-piece and uniform in specification.
