My one and only drop shot rod I just purchased this spring is a St. Croix
Premier 7'0" medium-light-fast and I find it's a great rod. I just couldn't
afford a $150 to $200 rod, and this one seems to be working just fine. Just
started learning the technique this year, and I've taken some fish with it.
I've even started drop-shotting in 6-8 feet of water in thick milfoil
pockets with anything from small or large worms, lizards, flukes, you name
it. I find I catch more fish that way than I do pitching and flipping
weighted tubes or what-have-you. I find I can feel the pick-ups better.
Only problem after that is getting them out of the weeds with my 10-lb
flurocarbon !!!

Hey all,

I just wanted to pose the question, what is your choice for a drop shot
rod.
Action, Length, handle type. Currently I am using a 7'6" St Croix
Premier
mod-fast. I like the extra length for handling fish with lighter line. I
am going to purchase a couple more over the winter, as well as a few more
baitcasting combos, I still have a few situations that I am not totally
prepared for.

Thanks for your opinions and input!

Chris
