    Default Looking for a JDM dropshot rod


    The Triple Cross would be a good one. Of course you already have an Aji-Do.

    I haven't tried it with any of the rods I have. I'm not familiar with the technique and wondered with the Ajo-do being rated up to 3g if it would work well or I would be asking more from the light rated rod than would be wise.

    I just got done reading this review of the Lunakia 6'10" from Yodie. I sounds like he was using his as a drop shot rod.

    I should try those 2 rods to see how they work at dropshoting

    I have used my Shimano Zodias 7'6" Light for drop shots. Handles gills, crappie, hybrids, and giant bass wellName:  20220509_102247.jpg

    I would try your Lunakia for it. The triple cross would fit the bill but the Lunakia would likely do it better. I use a 7’4” Graphiteleader Corto as my drop shot rod.

    Depends, are you bank fishing or boat fishing .
    I’ve found a shorter rod in the 5-5.5’ length to be more sensitive than the longer rods fishing from shore .
    One of my favorites is a 5’4” St Croix , either the trout series or the panfish series .
    I using this for bluegills and crackers with flies or small plastic baits such as the Bobby Garland Itty Bitty swimmer.
    So something in a similar JDM would be my suggestion.

    I fish from a boat 99% of the time, I don't have a lot of confidence out of the boat, I've grown to accustomed to Livescope at least telling me there are fish in the area.

    The one precent of the time being when I'm away from home, I'm starting to put together a small kit for when I'm at drill to do some bank fishing.

    Went fishing this morning got on the lake at 7. Caught a few on the deep end but not alot showing on livescope and the ones I was catching were smaller bluegill/sunfish so I headed to the shallow end. Fish I was seeing seemed to be from 10 to 14 feet deep. Perspective mode was showing a good many fish towards the shallow end I picked some up here and there casting a jig. Got to a spot showing lots of fish near the bottom. Tried throwing a jig on the Eradicator using Lemoni polyster line and caught a few more. Decided to get the Lunakia out and try the drop shot stuff I made up. First cast I caught an 11.5 in Crappie ended up being the biggest of the day, I thought alright it's on now. Of course things did die down, I caught a good many fish, blugill/sunfish, crappie and perch. I don't normally catch many perch there but caught close to 10 today, ended up catching 25 bluegill, 10 keeper crappie and threw back 15 or so. The Lunakia worked pretty well, the area I was fishing is basically flat so I was casting out and do a really slow retrieve back.
