    Good Dropshot Rod and Reel (relatively inexpensive)

    My fishing partner used my Dropshot setup today, caught fish, and now wants one. I have a higher end setup, and I don't know if he wants to make that kind of investment/commitment. Any suggestions?

    It would help to know what he calls an investment/commitment.

    He did not say, but I'd imagine under $300 for combo.

    Dobyns Sierra 702 and a Shimano Nasci 2000 or 2500. Really solid blank and fuji alconites and the nasci can't be beat for the price.

    This is a good option or a Daiwa BG (or pretty much any Daiwa spinning reel) and an Abu Garcia Villain 2.0

    I was going to suggest a Daiwa BG, 2500 size, and a Phenix Feather 7'1" medium which will fish like a medium light. All in for right about $250.
