I normally DS and drag tubes 25-35 fow , on 3/8-3/4oz weights. Wondering if this is a good rod for that.

specs say 1/8-3/8oz ....probably too light I'm thinking?

anyone have experience with this rod DS'ing this deep?

I normally DS and drag tubes 25-35 fow , on 3/8-3/4oz weights. Wondering if this is a good rod for that.

I'm fishing the North Fork Composites equivalent (DS 6107-1) of that rod. IMO, it's not enough rod for those weights. I dropshot it up to 30' with 3/16-3/8 weights. definitely not enough rod to drag tubes with....especially the hookset.

The 822 would probably be a better option.

^I'm thinking the same ....gonna go take a look at the shops tomorrow. I prefer the GLX though, don't think 822's come in that.

can someone help me clear something?

I have a loomis sitting on my desk here, rated 3/16-5/8 and is a med heavy, which I think is a little over powered for what I do. The 820 is rated 1/8-3/8 but is a mag lite ... how does that work? Is the power rating and the lure weight rating completely unrelated?

I fished another GLX med heavy, lure weighted 1/8-5/16 which I think is perfect for what I do. Would that make this 820 pretty similar to that since it's 1/8-3/8?

I'm not really sure what mag lite means too.

It depends on what series they are from. for example, a MH from the Mag Bass series does not equal a MH from Spin Jig series. From what I gather, Mag-Lite is between a light and a medium-light. I've never had any Loomis rods to compare, but my NFC mag-lite is quite a bit less powerful than my St. Croix ML, however, you can't compare powers across manufacturers. there is no set standard.
