Here's the criteria (spinning only):

1. Should work for both shakey-head and dropshot.

2. Line will be 20lb braid w/co-poly leader (10lb)

3. Keep cost at $100 (+ or - a buck or two)

Looking for something in the Vendetta, BuCoo, Veritas line of rods, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Out of the given rods, Bucoo, hands down  8-)

Ah, OK.  I'm kinda looking for which model number on the suggestions.  I hate buying something sight unseen, but I may have to here.  Is a 7' medium too light for shakey-heads?  Is the 7' MH too heavy for dropshotting?  My mind is going in circles here.  Gotta be one rod for both.

Lamiglas Excel 703 or 704.  I have a 703 with a Pflueger Supreme XT and YoZuri Hybrid 6lb.  Works really well for shaky heads for me. It might be a bit soft/slow for drop shots but the 704 takes care of that.

$100 shipped from that "Warehouse" store.

I don't get it....Tackle Warehouse...was that so hard...I'd go for one of the regular LTX Carrot Stix on sale

Carrot Stix LTX Dropshot Rod

I love the falcon line of rods. That being said I have talked to falcon and from the sound of it all of the bucoos have more of a moderate action, I would check out the veritas.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.  Sadly, the CarrotStix LTX's at TW are sold out (the one I wanted).  Right now I'm leaning towards Webertimes suggestion on the LamiGlass.  I'm headed out on a gear safari this morning to see what's available locally, but more than likely *** will get the nod...................
