It all depends on how the bass are feeding that day. I've had days when it
just felt like weight, but then other days, there's been no mistake when the
fish hit! That's why a good sensitive rod is so important, so you can feel
the light takes.

My best days dropshotting there was no doubt about it, but I've had a few
when I never knew they had it until I started to lift the rod. Makes it
tough to tell a bite when fishing grassbeds.

I use a blue St Croix (right at $200) drop shot rod most of the time, but I
have found a Quantum Tournament series rod that works very well and retails
for $79-$89 and can be found on Ebay for as low as $40 that works very very
well as a drop shot rod. TES704F

A sensitive rod definitely makes a difference on those slow days.
