I am looking for a drop shot rod and i came across a deal on craigslist that caught my eye. It's a brand new 6' 6" St. Croix Triumph M power F action for $40.

let me know what you guys think!

Thanks,

VC

MSRP $70 Sounds like an ok deal if it's in decent shape. Not a steal, but not a rip either.

I keep a 6'6" MF two-piece Triumph spinning rod in my trunk for those spur of the moment fishing opportunities.

It's not a bad rod for the price, but I'd look for something with better sensitivity for dropshotting.

Spinning or casting?

I would pass if it's for drop shotting.

It's a decent rod, as are the Premiers.  The low end St. Croix's are a very solid value, but they are lacking when it comes to bottom contact baits.
