HookSetDon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Well, I was looking at a classifieds website for my area and I came across a DSR822c rod, never used plastic still on the cork for $140. Its a casting drop shot rod, I already have a drop shot rod spinning model and its not a technique I use a lot but I figure the deal is great since they retail for 250-270 on the g loomis website and I could probably use it for another technique. what do you think? Would you snag it? Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 I paid over $400 for my new DSR822 rod so grab the sucker and run like the police are chasing you. 1 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Take it!! Im sure that rod would work for something that you do! If not, sell it and make a few dollars off of it. I havent read the specs of that rod, but im sure u can use it for finesse or light baits or shakey heads. Quote
HookSetDon Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks guys!! I told him its mine haha but Sam, 400?! which one did you buy lol or how long ago I should ask 11364-01 DSR 822 C 6' 10" E 1 6 - 12 3/16 - 1/2 Ex-Fast Mag-Medium $270.00 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Sounds like a good fluke, senko, finesse jig rod. I dont know how loomis tips are but it might could be a jerkbait or towater rod...that is if you dont use it for dropshots..lol Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Not a good fluke or senko rod, there isn't enough tip in the rod. I use my DSR for grubs and sliders a lot, as well as flick shaking worms around docks. In truth, the 822C is probably the perfect dropshot rod, casting or spinning. It has incredible strength and power for a rod in its class. It really is superb for dragging a dropshot becuase of the accuracy gained. I don't leave home without mine in spring. Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Oh..i was going off spec...and what ive done wiith similar spec. I guess its speaks for the diffferences in rod manufactuers. Quote
