Yes, and I've caught a few fish on a dropshot with it since last August. My question with this post was really does a M vs a ML really make a difference for dropshotting, am I going to struggle with getting fish in the boat because it's a stiffer rod. And clearly the general consensus is no, so that's great.
But in general I liked what you said, it's 100% true for anybody who can do it. I just mean I don't have the money or space to buy a rod, see what application it works for and then buy another one for whatever application that rod couldn't cover. My goal is to have a few versatile rods and I wanted to know if I was going to be wasting my time using a dropshot with a "stronger" rod.
