i don't really have a budget, usually before i buy a rod i like to see what every ones setups are and their likes and dislikes. then i will go from there. but i never fished for small mouth, and this season i want to start and i want a dedicated drop shot setup just for this purpose.
I wasn't sure which rod, length, action, tip, line and reel is preferred for drop shot fishing... but i want to use a spinning reel for this setup. i'll be using 10lb super slick power pro braid and 8lb fluorocarbon line as leader.
any thoughts?
