Both of my Cabela's tourney trail spinning rods broke at the tip while drop shotting on my fishing trip this week.  Now I am out of a drop shot rig, at least with my spinning gear. I got the combo package with the Pflueger President.  Love the reels but now I have to get 2 new rods.  The rods are still under warranty, thankfully, and they said they would give me a choice to get a refund for the cost of the rods or have 2 identical ones sent out.  After reading the reviews and seeing that this happened to at least 5 other people breaking at the same location, it looks like a manufacturing defect and I'm thinking about taking the credit and get 2 different rods.  Any suggestions on spinning rods, specifically for drop shotting?

Shimano Crucial 6'8" Med / XF. Has a real nice feel to Iit and can handle those smallies and largies very well.

Maybe you can locate one that has a clearance price. You'll have others hear that would agree.

Good luck.

I'll check on that.  Thanks.
