Just wondering what the features of a drop shot rod need to be. (ex.,  mh/fast action)   and also personal preferences on whether to use a baitcaster or spinning. Thanks!

Spinning, just because when you use drop shots you are USUALLY using small worms, light wire hooks. A 7' Medium fast action or a 7' medium light fast action

I use a 7' ML fast action. Sensitive and flexible tip is what you are looking for.

I bought a M/XF casting rod with a 1/8 to 3/8oz rating for dropshotting if I ever get a boat. If it works out, that's fine. If not, I will get a spinning outfit.
