Question about drop shot rods

[thingfishp]

I'm looking to get a new rod for drop shotting and hope someone can share an opinion. I'm looking at either a St. Croix Premier 7' medium or a Duckett Incite 7' medium heavy. Anyone have experience with either of these, have a preference? Or is there another rod in that $160 range that you really love for dropshotting? I've got several St. Croix and Ducketts and love them all, but I'm willing to try something else. Thanks

Anyone have experience with either of these, have a preference(going to mostly store it at my hunting shed along with my rifles from https://gritrsports.com/shooting/firearms/rifles/, there are a nice lake around so might drop shot while I'm there)? Or is there another rod in that $160 range that you really love for dropshotting? I've got several St. Croix and Ducketts and love them all, but I'm willing to try something else. Thanks

St. Croix Permier 7 is pretty good, don't have much experience with other one.

I Like the Falcon low rider 6/9 spring rod

Honestly, which ever one is more sensitive. I have always had trouble detecting drop shot bites with rods that aren't super sensitive.
