I can't recall off the top of my head, but they're in the $150 dollar range. The shorter 6'6" model is around $130.  Great rods. Fantastic tip on both of them.

Tackletour review of the 6'6" version of the same rod.

No differences between the two rods other than the length. I just happen to like the longer rod a bit more.

Thanks, that's the kind of information I am looking for.

I use a Saint Croix Avid AVC68MXF for drop shot in light weeds.

When only the best will do........I have the GLX DSR820 spinning version of this rod. It's one of only two factory rods I fish with.

I use two Shimano Crucials for my dropshotting...a CRS-D72ML (7'2" ML fast action) when I'm on my bass boat and a CRS-DX68M (6'8" M extra fast) when I'm in my kayak (it has to perform double or triple-duty when I'm limited in the number of rods I can carry).  Both are paired with a Stradic 1000.  Split-grip, Alconite guides, open hook-holder at the butt made for holding drop shot weights....very light, very sensitive.  I love 'em.
