Hi,

What rod length and power do you guys prefer for shaky head fishing. I will be using 8lb seaguar florocarbon and a 1/8 oz shaky head.

Thanks

I use a Loomis BCR 852.  It is 7'1", medium powered, and rated from 1/8-3/8oz.

I have a TD-Z 103ML mounted on it, spooled with 8lb. Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft.

I usually throw 3/16oz Spot Removers.

I use a 6'6" ML Shimano Crucial with a Daiwa Tierra 2000.

G Loomis Shaky Head rod (SHR822) with a Pflueger Supreme 8030MG hanging off of it spooled with 8# Trilene Fluorocarbon. Spare spool is spooled with same brand 6#.

For 1/8oz shaky heads I use my DS rod which is a St. Croix LTBC69MLXF.

For anything bigger I use a AVC68MXF.

These are both casting rods, my spinning rod is a LTBS68MXF that I use with 8lb Invizx but I use it mainly for split shotting and sluggos.  I just don't like fishing shaky heads on spinning tackle but I'm sure it would fit the bill.

I use a G. Loomis DSR820S GLX dropshot rod with a Shimano Stella 1000FB reel and #6 Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft line.
