Performance:

Some say when fishing with “Y-DROPSHOT” rod that you can actually feel the fish kiss your bait! The blank on this rod is phenomenal for dropshot fishing. In the design phase we decided that a dropshot rod does not need a cumbersome foregrip, so we left it off. We also chose a skeleton reel seat and moved the hook keeper down to the grip section of the blank. These design features keep everything out of the way and allow you to keep much of your hand and index finger directly on the blank. When you dropshot fish the “Y-DROPSHOT” rod is the rod you want in your hand. 

Our premium composite blanks are USA made and designed for superior performance. Left unsanded, they offer rugged durability but retain their tournament winning sensitivity. These rods are lightweight, strong, and extremely sensitive. They deliver just the right parabolic bend to keep your tournament-winning monster pegged at the side of your yak. We paired that with the award-winning American Tackle guides, and high-performance components, for a truly powerful package. Beware, our rods are known to improve accuracy and increase casting distance!

Balance:

Our unique retention system doubles as a counter-balance giving you all-day comfort without fatigue.
