As posted in HDYGO I had a short session with my light lure rod today.
Its a Drennan 8ft6ins drop shot rod but seems a great all round light lure rod to me.
Now Mr Drennan knows far more than I do about rods but I must say I am a little puzzled by the casting weight and max line ratings.
4 to 20 grams recommended but I must be abusing it at casting lures nearly twice that.
6 to 15lb lines . I have 10 on one spool which seems about max to me. 15 seems excessive for such a whisper light rod.
Perhaps the normal limits go out of the window with lure rods. Any regular lure anglers out there who can comment?
