Djman72 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Looking to pair my new Pflueger Supreme spinning reel with a solid rod that i'll use for drop shotting and weightless softplastic fishing Most of my rods are Fenwick and i love them. My budget is $75-150 and looking for some input to get the bass to ---> Quote
KC5TTC Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 You might want to check out the Denali Jadewood Dropshot spinning rod. It is a great rod and a great price at $100. Go to www.Denalirods.com and look at their products. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 meh, an ugly stik is just as good a drop shot rod as any, though many here will disagree... Quote
Megastink Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Check out the Duckett Ghost 7' medium. Right in the middle price wise. Great stick! Quote
Garret88 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I have no complaints about the St Croix Mojo Bass "Drop Shot" spinning rod. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted February 8, 2014 Super User Posted February 8, 2014 If you plan to drop shot and fish weightless plastics like a senko then I would go with a medium with a med/fast tip. Decent balance for both applications. I'm partial to Rapsody rods but that is because they are local to me. Good luck. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 8, 2014 Super User Posted February 8, 2014 My budget is $75-150 On the lower end of your price range at $80 is the Abu Vendetta. I use the 6'9" ML/XF spinning rod and like it a lot. 1 Quote
cbass12 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Shimano compre or clarus 7'2" M/F would work well. At the top of your price range I would recommend the Crucial in 7'1" M/F or ML/F, and the St Croix Rage 6'10" ML/XF. Quote
big poppa Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I use the Wright and McGill Skeet Resse Tessera Drop shot rod. Its 7'2" and has a medium fast taper. It casts a 1/8oz drop shot a country mile and can skip a wieghtless senko like a pro. For 90 bucks you cant beat it. Quote
MikeinFresno Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 add the Lamiglass drop shot rod too. I have a Loomis, Shimano and Lamiglass, all in ML. I use the Loomis and Lamiglass most of the time. Quote

My budget is $75-150 and looking for some input to get the bass to ---> If you like Fenwick why would you change? Take a look at the Aetos (Fenwick), I have the M/F it is my go to deep water DS rod. My dedicated DS rod is a Crucial ML/XF, which is the best DS rod I have ever used, mind you I haven't tried a Loomis or higher end for a DS rod. No reason to when these two do an awesome job already.

mram10us Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 +2 for St Croix. If you don't mind a repaired rod, you can find factory repaired (like new) St Croix rods on ebay for cheap. Generally around $50. I have a couple and LOVE them. My drop shotter is a Legend Tournament Bass that is 2" short, so 6'6" ML XF. I can't tell a difference, but it is amazing to fish with. PM me if you have more questions. Quote
