rangerjockey Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I really dislike fishing a drop shot but where I fish at times you pretty much need to.. The loomis NRX DSR 822 is good . Quote
ncbass Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 There is no better rod than a Dobyns DX 702sf. Quote
5fishlimit Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I'm happy with my St Croix Premier ML/F and Pfleuger President spinning reel setup for this technique. Quote
bassboy107 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I'm happy with my 6'8" medium fast mojo bass (wacky rod) I know that they have a specific drop shot rod but i just don't like a lighter rod. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Zbone 7'0" ML. It's as sensitive as an NRX, with a better action. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 No need for it to be a dream, I already have it. Custom St Croix. 5s69mlxf. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 Money not being a problem? Probably a custom Gaffight. They are local rod guys, but too expensive for my taste. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 MB destroyer evoluzion c40 elseil. Paired with a Stella fi of course. Might as well if money isn't an issue... Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 There is no better rod than a Dobyns DX 702sf.Depends if you prefer action or sensitivity. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I would like to try one of the Megabass Hedgehogs. I don't really drop shot much though. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 7'6" ML/XF Legend Elite. Paired with a Certate 2000 and 5lb Power Pro. Dropshot heaven... Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 7'6" ML/XF Legend Elite. Paired with a Certate 2000 and 5lb Power Pro. Dropshot heaven... Have that rod in SCIII with TiSiC guides. Hated it til I put braid on it. Didn't have enough balls to stick a smallie with straight fluorocarbon. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 I'm living the dream with a Loomis DSR 820S GLX. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 30, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 30, 2014 I don't DS much so I'm pretty happy with my 6' 10" ML/F LTB and Pfluegar Supreme XT Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted November 30, 2014 Super User Posted November 30, 2014 What ever A-Mart is currently using ... Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Shimano crucial drop shot rod 6'8" medium xf Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Unfortunately it is no longer made... Previous generation Shimano Crucial 6'5" dropshot rod. Quote
The Next KVD Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I got a custom St.Croix SCV 6'10" ML/XF spinning rod paired with a Shimano Sahara 4000 spooled with 10lb Suffix 832 and 8lb P-line 100% fluoro leader that is the best I've used up to this point and doubt I can find better. Quote
bmlum415 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Dobyns DX 702. There's a reason I have 3 of them. Quote
Trey Harpel Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 The one I'm using....DX701C with a daiwa Pixy SPR, 4lb line.... Love this combo and its a blast to use... I have had a MB Aaron Martens spinning rod with a Daiwa Exist steez 2004 and that was a killer combo, but Im not a fan of spinning.. 2 Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Trey, that looks like about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. I used to follow the same path; albeit at a bit lower on the food chain. A 6'9" ML-XF LTB, Alphas 103F and #6 XL. In a fit of stupidity, I sold the rod. I now use spinning gear for drop-shotting; a TD-X 6'10" ML-XF and Supreme XT reel and the same line. It's not as high end, or quite as much fun as my previous setup, but for no more than I drop-shot, it's plenty good enough. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 If money was no object I'd have a St. Croix Legend Xtreme 6'9" ML/XF with a Revo Premier 30. Since money is an object though, I'm more than happy with my LTB 6'9" ML/XF and Premier 30 combo. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Money no object, one that comes with a guy that can retie my rig perfectly in about three seconds. Quote
