Drop Shot spinning rod recommendations

[JMCat]

I have a loomis e6 7 ft medium.  I am assuming it would work great but wanted to get feedback on anyone fishing it.  Also looking for another spinning rod in max budget of $200 for drop shot.    

What rod are you guys using for drop shot?

I'm building 3 on a Rainshadow REVS610 ML XF blank. One is done and I am really pleased. For a store bought rod I hear alot of good reviews on the St Crois Avid series, in ML XF or M XF

Bushbeater has the right idea. I build my rods too. Look at the link below. In addition to the kit you would need wrap thread, seat epoxy, wrap epoxy, a single edge razor blade, the tube from a ball point pen, a cardboard box, a coffee cup, and a large phone book or a large dictionary

How to videos are all over the internet. It really is easy and here in the mid winter, what else do you have to do?

Good luck.

I’m not a huge fan of the Loomis E6.

GYCB had a great drop shot rod. I’m not sure it’s still offered 

I have a couple of Denali drop shot rods that work well also

tgats a pretty fair amount to spend. There should be lots of good options in that price range.

Any of the major brands have good options around 200$ IMO. I've got a med lite st croix eyecon, and a fenwick elite tech med lite.  I like both of them, I probably prefer the fenwick because the handle is super comfortable.
