The ubiquitous "dock-runner"......

shakespeare uglystik is a good bargain for such applications at $25 or less. I go even smaller with a 2' ice rod and smallish spinning reel. One medium and one heavy $10 sabres from the fly shack with $13 reels mounted travel about with me for impromptu bass fishing. Very sharp hooks are a must as these lack the hook-setting leverage compounded with the stretch of 6 lb. monofilament. Another negative is casting distance. So far drop-shotting 4" to 6" worms has worked better than a casting bubble or weighted bobber.
