Right now, at TW, is one the great dropshot rods, at about half price. The TD-X rod is on sale for $100.
I have one. If I needed another dropshot combo, I'd be all over this. It's sort of a one trick pony. The first two guides are too small for this rod to be a good distance caster. I have a set of MicroWave guides on hand, waiting for really cold weather before stripping mine down.
What this rod has is a great sensitive blank, SiC guides, and one the most comfortable reel seat/grip assemblies you'll ever put in your hands.
