For you serious drop shot fishers, what length drop shot rod do you use? I'm thinking 7 foot or longer. I'm 6'5" so most of my baitcasters are 7 or better, if that makes a difference.

I have a 7�3� medium light extra fast.

I have 2 - 7� always rigged up

TFO 6-10 ML

I'm 6'3" and my drop shot rods are 6'10" and 7'0"

6'7" and 6'10"

7'

i use a 7'3" med lite

Have you ever tried a medium fast ?
If so, what differences have you noticed?

I'm using a Kistler Helium medium fast, and wondering if I should change
to a medium light ??

I think this medium or medium light thing is more in how you personally play the fish. My drop shot rods are both medium and at times I wish I had a medium heavy so could control the fish more, but with tiny hooks that isn't always a good idea either.

I am 6'4, and one of my favorite rods I have ever fished is the NRX 822S DSR.

Any one use a Dobyns 742 for drop shots?

I have two that are 6-10 in length and one that is a 7 footer.

That is the rod I'm considering. I have a variety of their baitcasters and really like them.

Great rod no doubt!
The Dobyns 701 is a good one as well.
I use a Duckett 7' crankbait casting rod. Don't think I will ever switch. Best rod I found for me, and I tried out a bunch of them!!!! The NRX was next in line, but they don't make it in casting.
