which rod for the job?

[fishdawg]

so i noticed that Grimsby Tackle is having 21% 0ff all rods, reels & tackle this weekend. I am thinking about a new rod that can double duty for occassional drop shotting and for 3way rigging/drifting. probably a 7 footer? Thoughts or ideas? Budget is $100.

Mark! A 7' medium fast is what your after as stated above.

Brand doesn't matter. Pick your favourite and there are lots to choose from.

For me would be a St. Croix triumph or a shimano compre.

Good luck with the rod hunt! If your there on Saturday I might see you

If you can afford it, look at the St. Croix Avid. With that discount it will be a bit over 100 but well worth it as well.

 

As said before 7' M fast will be perfect.

I wouldn't go with a compre 7' M for dropshotting. I have one, and the action IMHO is not really fast enough for a dropshot rod: the tip is quite flexible. It is a great rod for light jigs and unweighted plastics, but not really a dropshot rod.
