Mid Strolling spinning rod

[JL]

Any suggestions on a mid strolling spinning rod? Would like to keep it under $300! Thanks!

If you have a drop shot rod you like...that will do the job...Mine cost more than 300 but since I already owned them I gave them a try. I had a 25 pound bag the first week of December and I don't have FFS but have not had any issues without being able to actually see fish...You just have to have a little faith and you'll be surprised at the results.

JL, I just stared experimenting with this technique (old dog new tricks thing ) and like Kelly, with out FFS and am very surprised. Currently using an older (when Gary owned the company) G Loomis DSR820S rod paired with a Diawa 1500 SS and 6# flouro. Also had to learn how to tie a loop knot. Make sure your reel has a good drag system as it will take some time to pull in those larger fish. (backreeling works too ) Good Luck and have fun and be patient.

Thank you as well Fast Eddie! Much appreciated! You and Kelly Ripa are what this forum USED to be all about! Hopefully someday it will be again?

I use a Phenix Ultra MBX-S 706L spinning rod. It is classified as
a dropshot rod but has the tip action that is excellent for mid strolling.
Price point is right at $300

I looked on the Phenix website. I didn't find a 706L? I saw a Medium. Maybe I was at the wrong site?

Johnson’s Bait & Tackle in Yuba City had some. Tackle Warehouse has none in stock.
