Hey guys Im looking to buy a dropshot rod and reel.
To fish of the rocks and surf.
Looking for a 8 or 9ft rod not to expensive though.
Can anyone assist.
Howsit Devesh,
Dropshot or medium spinning ?
Dropshot involves small soft plastics... Usually 3-5 inch on a max 2 ounce jig head.
You do get bigger soft plastics, but not really suitable to cast from the shore....
What's the budget ?
What do you want to throw ? And what weights ?
From the surf, I'd suggest a minimum 9 ft if you want to throw spoons and lures, but again, depends on cast weight...
Budget dependent, have a look at the Daiwa Excellor Saltwater series rods, and maybe the Daiwa Ballistix or the Shimano Stradic
