Berkley dropshot vs Shimano rack raider

[User Removed]

Berkley drop shot 6,6 2p 2-4kg vs Shimano rack raider 6,8 2p 3-5kg?
pros, cons, what’s hot and what’s not about each rod? This is not a defiantly but I thought it would be nice to have another rod and thinking between one off these thye both look nice!

Raider costs more, but you get what you pay for.
Fuji IPS seat, Alconite guides, and a pretty powerful blank.

The dropshots I've seen are okay at best. They'd be my ideal rod for a "tune-up". Then maybe you could compare.

Dropshots are awesome for the money, i love mine,and ive compared them to a sic stik and they are right up there i reckon, not quite but really close. They hav fuji reel seat and guides.I do have to say tho that i really want a raider

Cheers,

I have both of the mentioned rods, Rack raider is a great hard body rod while the drop shot is good for soft plastics and small hard bodies how ever it would be better with a shorter butt and the reel seat reversed.

Yes, good for those uses. Those are also the modifications I'd make when "tuning" said rod. There is a huge difference in the balance and feel of the 6'6" vs the 7 ' models. They also need more guides to better distribute line pressure and regulate line flow. Handle length is up to the user. I'd put one of my ergonomic skeleton seats, reversed, on it too, to improve the feel.
