Will This Rod Work For Drop Shot?

Featured Replies

Dude, it's an online forum. If you can't take the occasional ribbing from people you have no business on any message boards.

right, were not trying to "harass" you, it's just silly coming on here and throwing out a statement like that

I don't have big bass in my area. Can I fish a Drop Shot with an ultralight with 6lb test mono?

Thanks

GT,

 

If you would be more specific, you'd get more appropriate responses. What is a "big bass" in your "area"? 2 lbs, 4lbs, 6 lbs? Have you ever dropshotted before? Am guessing no otherwise no need to ask your question. 

 

As others have mentioned, you can drop shot with just about any setup and any lb. test line. Should you or can you use this setup? What exactly are you wanting to know? I doubt anyone bass fishing would use a UL rod to dropshot unless it's for panfish with 2lb. line. There is no reason to use a UL rod for bass unless there's absolutely no cover to wrap you up, the bass don't exceed 10"-12", or you want to challenge your fish-fighting skills. If you're fishing water that has anything over 4 lbs. in it then you're asking for trouble. If you want to use 6 lb. line (which I do and most others do) then get a ML or L action rod, at least.
