Looking for info on this spinning rod.
Just found it on the store here.
Looks nice.
Want to make sure its not a moderate action as my TD-X dropshot 6'10 is a little too stiff. Is it at Cabelas Owatanna or anywhere in the MN? Anyway to find out? I love medium light rods, it looks nice, less than a week till opener here in the MN

I bought a drop shot rod 3 years ago to fish for smallmouth on lake erie at bfl events. wonderfull feel, u can fish all day in waves and not tireout. with practice u can feel the fish watching your bait ( yamamoto flat tails ). i was so impressed i now own seven kistler rods of various action, 4 spinning and 4 casting. it's what i choose to use, i'm not paid for any endorsements.

I live and fish tournaments in California, Dropshotting is the west coast way.
the daiwa is a little stiff, especially on the tip. i fished the loomis dropshot rods, think its the 822 which is the medium light. the 820 (light) is to light. the kistler dropshot is that of the 822 and i see it being as good or better than that rod because of the hook hanger and no foreard cork. i have 2 of them and miss no fish, there very forgiving and super sensitive. hope this helps!
