The baitfinesse will dropshot. I've throw 1/4oz poppers on it too, including some wacky zman big trd with a nail weight not sure if thats under 1/4 but it slings them with my aldebaran bfs. The windbuster is a medium so you would be okay with a dropshot on that too. On the MB chart it's blue which says fast moving aggressive but it can do more. I threw weightless senko and shakeyhead on mine. I dont even use it anymore. If you're looking for a windbuster I'll sell you mine. It's barely used too. I've seen guys free rig on the Baitfinesse too. I have the expride 168MH-S from JP and Shimano mentions free rigs in its description and its done those well. Has the taftec tip. Not really sure on lure ratings I haven't really pushed both. Hope I was able to help some.
