WayUpNorth Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Looking for a new spinning drop shot pole in the max range of $200. Tell me your thoughts. Thanks, John Quote

WanderLust Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Shimano Crucial Drop Shot spinning rod is reasonably priced and gets decent reviews. I would say look for a deal and get the highest end rod you can afford. Quote
Dave T. Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 My son has a 6'8" Crucial Drop Shot rod that I've used, and it works just dandy. I was able to fish a friends AVS69MLXF for a short while last year. I liked it so much, I'm having a custom St. Croix built on the same blank... except I went with the Extreme.... should be even better. ;D Lots of great drop shot rods for under $200. Quote

BobP Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 X3 for the Shimano Crucial. I've used a 6'8" version for the last 2 yrs. They have a light fast tip section with plenty of backbone down the blank to handle bigger fish - just what I want in a dropshot rod. Works nice for shaky heads too, has a good warranty and the price is fair. Quote
TxBuddha Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Dobyns Champion 702 or if you've got a few more $$ the Champion Extreme. Quote
