"The DS822 is very sensitive rod that I use with 8 lb. line. Not only is it a great drop shot rod, it is also effective in casting light shakey head jigs and grubs."

"I started crappie fishing this year after years of bass fishing. I purchased this rod for small lures and finesse fishing. Little did I know this is the sweetest rod on the planet for crappie. I realize the price is over the top for a crappie rod, but fishing is my favorite hobby and I like the best of the best and this is it. If you want the best rod on the planet for crappie this is it. I can feel the fish looking at the jig. I will never use anything other than a G.Loomis rod. After many years of fishing they have never let me down."

Another great G. Loomis rod.,October 25, 2006
By Scrappinjackfrom San Diego, CA
"Using the G. Loomis DSR822 S, I find it hard to imagine another rod with a comparable combination of sensitivity and reaction strength. The craftsmanship and performance of these rods serve as a fine example that the G. Loomis reputation has been well-earned."

The Pinnacle of drop shotting rods,July 30, 2006
By Madhouse27from Bar Harbor, ME
"Many of us have discovered dropshotting over the past few years. It is an extremely effective tactic for catching deepwater bass, especially those suspended just off the bottom. The technique itself can be a bit tricky to master. Keeping in contact with bottom in deep water while trying to empart a lifelike action on your bait certainly takes skill and the right equiptment. When it comes to rods there simply is not a better tool for this job than the G Loomis Drop shot rod. It is everything you want and then some. I have the 6'10" medium action. It is light in weight and a real joy to hold. The thing oozes quality and it's an absolutely gorgeous looking piece of craftsmanship. You'll be amazed at the sensitivity of this rod. You'll be able to feel every contour of the bottom and the most subtle of pick ups. The extra fast tip allows you to really bring that bait to life without your weight losing touch with the bottom. Just shake that tip a little bit and get ready. The strength of the rod will allow you to battle the big boys up from the depths. Combine all this quality with the G Loomis warranty and this rod is very simply the best drop shot rod available."
