I am a carrot stix fan. Best rods I have ever fished with. I use the older drop shot model 7.3ft for urban bassin, inshore salt water for snook, small tarpon, etc and sight fishing reds on the flats in ENP. I out cast everyone every time. Drop shot model has super sensitivity and fast action for hook sets. The only thing I am going to do is put grip tape on them as I have basketball player hands so the rod is kind of skinny in my hands. Regardless it's whatever feels best to you.
