Default Drop Shot Rod (Steve Huber)

Dear Steve, please e-mail me the price of that rod:
nvozdols(at)ecs.umass.edu

TIA,
Nikolay

Steve Huber built me the perfect light dropshot rod last year. It's 7-0,
light action with a moderately slow taper. Fuji concept guides and an
all cork, Tennessee handle complete the package. I've drop shotted for
years, and used dozens of different rods. I can honestly say that this
is the best drop shot rod for light dsrop shotting (4 to 6 lb line in
reasonably open water) that I've ever used. On the other hand, for Bubba
shot fishing (12 to 20 pound test and 1/2 to 1 oz weights in heavy
vegies) I like an Allstar SJ1 casting rod. It's got a little slower
taper than most rods in its class, is just long enough and meaty enough
to lean on a fish and get it's head pointed in the right direction.
