    Default Plastic Worm Setups

    Always wonder what you guys use for the finesse worms?
    I used to use eight pound test on a light 5'6'' rod
    Since that rod is totally broken, I would like to get some suggestions on a new rod for worms. I have a ML shimano now but when I use it with weightless t-rig worm, I can hardly feel anything on the other end. What would you guys suggest to buy?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    5'6" is a bit short for my tastes.

    I go with a 7'0" or a 7'2" rod. My dropshot rod will usually double as a finesse worm rig, excelling in split shotting, light T-rigs, and even weightless rigs. You need a soft tip to handle the lighter line, but at the same time, you need a good backbone for hooksets and for leverage.

    The dropshot models of the Crucial series were pretty decent, and the Cumaras are a great stick as well. It all depends on what your budget is.

    I was at bass pro and I bought a 6'6 and a 7'half foot ultra light pole for trout, but I used it for drop shotting once and it works great!!! I have a G-Loomis drop shot rod and the backbone and soft tips are almost exact!!! Only difference is my loomis was $200 more!
