Well, I splurged today.. I went to The Dugout to get a few things for this weekend and to get Bassboy1 a little gift for taking me fishing all the time.. well, I had to walk by the rods and pick up one for drop shotting. I ended up getting a Powell Max 681LEF - 6'8" light extra-fast action paired with a Daiwa Exceler spinning reel.
I'm taking a chance and going WAY below my normal line size, but I think I'll be ok. 8lb Seguar Red Line Fluoro should hopefully do the trick... we'll find out Friday when bassboy1 and I go out and tear them up during a local tournament!
I'll take pics of the setup later, but man... that is one light setup - it weighs about the same as my Vieno sitting on my Kistler... I just hope I don't treat this rod like I do other spinning reels - I put them in the boat and never pick them up. BUT, I'm going to start out using it, and if it works, use it all day long and give my baitcasters a rest.
