Looking for a new spinning drop shot pole in the max range of $200. Tell me your thoughts.

Thanks, John

I use an Avid AVS63MLXF.  Saddled with a 2500 CI4 and 6# InvisX.

Shimano Crucial Drop Shot spinning rod is reasonably priced and gets decent reviews.

I would say look for a deal and get the highest end rod you can afford.

My son has a 6'8" Crucial Drop Shot rod that I've used, and it works just dandy.

I was able to fish a friends AVS69MLXF for a short while last year. I liked it so much, I'm having a custom St. Croix built on the same blank... except I went with the Extreme.... should be even better. ;D

Lots of great drop shot rods for under $200.

Perfect!

Mine is similar: Avid AVS66MLF/ Stella 1000FA/ #6 InvisX

X3 for the Shimano Crucial.  I've used a 6'8" version for the last 2 yrs.  They have a light fast tip section with plenty of backbone down the blank to handle bigger fish - just what I want in a dropshot rod.  Works nice for shaky heads too, has a good warranty and the price is fair.

Dobyns Champion 702 or if you've got a few more $$ the Champion Extreme.

I'm probably getting two more copies of that setup, LOL.
