@randymiller5008 Hey bro. It's a g loomis gcx 822s dsr (drop shot rod) paired with a 2024 shimano vanford 2500. It's a medium action rod, 6-12 lb test. It's extra fast, which gives it a very sensitive tip, especiallywith braid, but to me, I think it's more on the fast side with enough bend to allow the 1oz sinkers to stay on the bottom good when the boat is rocking. Got these so I can pull double duty when bass fishing and walleye drop shot. Has enough backbone to move larger fish. Did you see the 7.5 lb sheepshead? That thing had my drag screaming! Lol. Thr drag on those reels have the new shimano cross carbon drag, which is their new drag material. Suppose to be smoothest most durable drag they make. It handles well. I was impressed. A perch rod doesn't need to be pricey though. Any rod with braided line will be more than enough!
