On my Ned/Small Swim bait rod I'm looking for as long a cast as possible. I want an extremely fast tip and a sturdy backbone up to the 3rd. Guide above the handle. I want a rod that will throw a 1/4 oz. bait close to all the line on a 2500 series spinning rid and have the tip and bone to hook the fish at that distance, using 4 to 6 lb. Line. On the drop shot rod I want a 6'8" to 7' with a sensitive but much flatter tip. I'm still fishing fairly light line, but I'm only 15' to 30' from the bait. On the lift I don't need that fast tip, I want a lot softer, but still the bone in the back end of the handle. I use totally different rods for shotting and swim bait or nedding. Wow that is serious inside baseball right there! Thanks for the explanation though, that's why you're a professional.
