Will they warranty it Glenn?  Tell them it broke fighting a 5 lb smallie.  I'll gladly pay the expeditor fee if they will 

I once had a nice G-Loomis dropshot rod.  Then it got caught in the rod locker door.  Now it's a 2-piece.



Want it?   

Thanks to all for your comments and recommendations. Took Smitty's advise and puchased the Shimano Compre. It's a nice rod! Will give it a try on Lake Sammamish as soon as the fish move in to shallower water.

I use lamiglas cascade pro 6' 6" light 2 piece rod to drop shot most of the time, and I really like em. Sportco has them for $50, but sometimes they go on sale for $40

If you need a two-piece spinning rod that is suitable for the dropshot technique then I would suggest you take a very close look at a Shimano Compre' CPS66ML2B.  This rod has IM 8 Graphite blank and an "exposed finger seat" at the forward end of the reel seat to enhance sensitivty.  With Grade A Portugese cork for the grip and single foot Fugi Hardoloy guides, this rod at $89.00, is a very good choice for what you want.  It is available at Auburn Sports & Marine or the Outdoor Emporium.

Sarge,

Good point. Didn't think about it like that. Take Sarge's advice, any of the sport good s store should have a good feeling 2 piece rod out there.

Sometimes Lamiglas can make a 2 piece rod if you call the factory. 

I love the Lamiglas XPS 662 Dropshot Special

Also the XPS 702X is good, call the factory at
1 (360) 225-9436

Ask them if they could do that, sometimes they do, sometimes they dont, asking wouldnt hurt

But WOOF! that's expensive...

Maybe he wants to hike with it or something, Russ...

I don't have any specific rods in mind, Steve, but just go to a store with a lot of choices and look for a 7' spinning rod with a stiff butt section and a fast, limber tip.

I have a GLoomis PR8400S that I love for dropshotting. I don't know your price range, but that rod runs about $135 (GL2 model). If you found something similar to that rod in two pieces, you would be in good shape.

Good luck,
Chris

Stick with one. They are more sensitive.

I know that one piece rods are preferred but  I am looking for a good 2 piece drop shot spinning rod.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
