I already had a 12ft for soaking bait, and a 9ft for throwing lures in the surf. No issues with either, so decided to get an 11ft for another reel. I 'm sure there are better, more expensive rods out there, but these get the job done.

First impressions of this rod are good. I bought the 9' combo in the blue camo. The quality is better than I imagined. The rod is sensitive and has good action to the tip. The reel is bigger than I expected and was prespooled with monofilament line. For anyone wondering the 9' combo is medium heavy power with medium action. It is rated for 12- 25 pound line and can cast 3/4 oz to 2 1/2 oz weights.

The Okuma Stratus 7 Saltwater Spinning Rod from Dick's is a fantastic purchase! It has great sensitivity, making it easy to feel every nibble, yet it's strong enough to handle bigger catches. The lightweight design allows for hours of comfortable fishing, and the build quality is top- notch. It's become my go- to rod for saltwater fishing, and it ’s never let me down. Highly recommend it to any angler looking for reliability and performance!

This rod is sensitive& responsive and the rod fought the fish well. This rod seems sturdy and is well put together with good fit 'n finish.

Kayak Panfisher
I ’ ve owned this rod for about a year now and can whole heartedly sing it praises. I ’ m a AVID kayak pan fisherman. I ’ ve had this rod back in the skinny water catching bluegill, to white bass in rivers all the way to brackish gulf water catching flounder to test its metal. It passed all with flying colors. Section held together very well, eyelets are ceramic and kept the 10lb braid in good shape. Plenty of backbone for finessing bigger fish, just use a quality reel with good drag. My only suggestion for St Croix….. add an extra piece and make it 8 ’. This would be a perfect travel fresh water rod.

I do a lot of trout fishing in rivers and small ponds. Most fish are under two pounds. This is a great lightweight pack rod. It comes in a protective case that I strap to the outside of my backpack. It weighs less than 22onces and is 22. 5 inches long. I use a Plueger President searies with 4 pound test. This is a fast action rod with no sacrifices for it being a 4 section rod. I thought I would only use it for backpacking. It is now my goto rod. I am very pleased with the purchase and would recommend this rod to anyone looking for a quality ultra light fast action rod.

The Dobyns Kaden Light Power, Fast Action rod has has a quick taper at the tip and more backbone than typical `` light power '' rods making it a great choice for large panfish, trout, and bass when throwing 1/8- 3/8 oz. lures. The rod is very sensitive and capable of detecting subtle bites and underwater structure. The rod quality and finish are excellent. The rod blank is finished with Sea Guide's XO guides, Fuji reel seat, contoured split grip cork handle, and the blank is a clean black matte finish that easily matches all reel colors.

Bought the 5 ’ 6 rod for panfish and it quickly became my main rod for pretty much everything else. Super responsive, light, and durable, have used it for bass, bluegill and crappie and it has not let me down. Plan on getting the 6 ’ 6 rod next.

DSG Customer Service Suck
I ordered this originally in February and instead of receiving the item I ordered( 10ft MH) i got a Marathon Fathom rod... after complaining to customer service, they sent me out a new one.... now of course, the rod I received was only 9ft and not the 10ft I ordered. Dicks still has n't given me the product I originally ordered. However, the 9ft performed exactly how I thought it would. and it was awesome. It threw 4oz with a chunk of clam at least 80yrds with ease. Handled bringing in two schoolie stripers 26and 27 '' perfectly. I plan on buying another one... just hope I actually get what I order this time.

I sort of like the feel of cork grips over these carbon ones, but the carbon ones clean up way easier, and if I really wanted to, I could put cork handle bar tape on the carbon grips, especially to make the handle warmer in freezing

This is my second Okuma SST spinning rod for steelhead fishing. I use the 10' 6 '' SST Float Drift because it is well made, light, fast tip, and costs a third of the more expensive rods. I am not giving up anything on capability with this rod and it is priced right for me. I fish an Okuma Trios spinning reel for steelhead. I use 30 lb. braid for the main line. I use this rod for bobber doggin', float fishing, and drift fishing. Great quality at a great price that does n't break my bank!

This is the Medium Heavy Medium Fast 8' 6 '' carbon handle version. FYI, the website misspelled it as `` Mag '' Heavy when it should be `` Med '' heavy. The SST MH, MF 8' 6 '' is a great do- it- all rod length power and action for Pacific Northwest fishing from trout to large king salmon. I use mine mostly for bass and Coho+ King salmon which can get over 25lbs. I paired mine with a 4000 series reel which is about ideal reel size for this rod. The rod has more of a fast action than medium fast by other company's standards. It also has a decent backbone near the handle area for when I need to clamp down the drag and horse a giant fish away from snags or to yank them up onto the shore. I sort of like the feel of cork grips over these carbon ones, but the carbon ones clean up way easier, and if I really wanted to, I could put cork handle bar tape on the carbon grips, especially to make the handle warmer in freezing weather.

I bought this rod because I had 2 more and wanted to have 1 for each member of the family. We used them for salmon fishing and the quality is exceptional for a$ 100 rod. I paired them with Penn 4000 reels and they work like a dream. More than half of all my fishing rods are Okuma. I will buy another Okuma if I need one.

Very nice bass rod. Has a great feel to it. Very light.
When selecting a spinning rod for drop shot fishing, consider the rod's length, action, and power. A longer rod typically provides better casting distance and control, while a medium to medium-light action allows for sensitivity to detect subtle bites. Additionally, a lightweight design can enhance your overall fishing experience, making it easier to handle for extended periods.
Spinning rods for drop shot fishing are often made from materials like graphite and composite blends. Graphite rods are known for their sensitivity and lightweight characteristics, making them ideal for detecting bites. Composite rods, on the other hand, can offer a balance of strength and flexibility, providing durability while maintaining a lightweight feel.
The length of a spinning rod can significantly impact your drop shot fishing experience. Longer rods, typically ranging from 6 to 7 feet, allow for better casting distance and line control, which is essential for keeping your bait at the desired depth. However, shorter rods can provide increased accuracy and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces, making them suitable for specific fishing environments.
The ideal action for a spinning rod used in drop shot fishing is usually medium to medium-light. This action provides the sensitivity needed to feel light bites while still offering enough backbone to set the hook effectively. A rod with this action allows for better control over the bait and enhances your ability to detect subtle movements in the water.
Yes, certain styles of spinning rods are better suited for drop shot techniques. Look for rods that are designed with a sensitive tip, which helps in detecting bites, and a sturdy backbone for hook setting. Additionally, rods with a fast or moderate action can provide the responsiveness needed for effective drop shot fishing, allowing for better control over your bait presentation.
