Looking to get a decent setup for a drop shot. What would be a decent setup for it?

I use a DX 702, I've never felt a more sensitive rod for drop shotting in my life. I can feel an 1/8 oz weight tag bottom in 30 ft of water. The slightest bite is noticeable.

Appreciate all the feedback...what reel are y'all putting on some of those? I was thinking maybe a Curado 50e if I can find a good one

Curado 50e would be a good choice, I use a daiwa sol, I have thought of switching my Steez onto that rod but the sol does an excellent job and I love my Steez for weightless worms.

There's always the revo mgx as well, depending on how light you go with your weight, you need a "finesse" reel to get a small worm and 1/8 oz weight out there.
