Wally Marshall Speed Stick
Crappie jig and dipping rods, 9–14 ft, 2-piece, IM8 graphite, ML power
Crappie-specific 2-piece spinning series co-designed with crappie tournament veteran Wally Marshall. Built for dock-shooting, dipping, pitching, and casting light jigs to structure in timber, brush piles, and under docks. All five models share ML power and M action, the design is homogeneous by intent, varying only in length to match the reach needed for different presentations.
IM8 graphite blanks keep weight low for extended one-hand or two-hand holds over docks and boat sides. Stainless steel guide frames with aluminum oxide inserts. Graphite skeletal reel seat provides direct blank contact and slim profile for sensitivity with ultralight line. The lime green and blue cosmetics are Wally Marshall signature. No heavy-cover or power-fishing application, this series is narrowly optimized for 1/64–1/4 oz crappie jigs and small baits on light line.
Five lengths: 9'0", 10'0", 11'0", 12'0", 14'0", all 2-piece, all ML/M action. The 9' is the general-purpose entry; 10'–12' cover mid-range reach fishing. The 14' WMSS14-2 is a dock-dipping specialist for deep brush and standing timber where long reach matters more than casting.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 5 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
2 of 5 modelsShortest model at 9 ft, the most manageable for general crappie fishing, casting small jigs to structure or fishing from tight quarters. Entry point into the series.
14-foot specialist for vertical dipping into deep brush, standing timber, and dock pilings. Reach and angle control are the function. Requires solid wrist mechanics; unwieldy for open-water presentations.
