I’ve dabbled in micro drop shot fishing from the bank .
I used 1/16 jigheads with the hook cut off and I squeeze the jighead with needle nose pliers , pushing the remaining hook shat into the lead head . Makes cheap dropshot weights .
I use lightweight jigs , 1/80th or flies for my baits .
I’ve had good luck at our town pond using the DS rig mainly because the bottom is fairly free of snags .
I tried it at the big reservoir and gave up after losing three rigs in a row to snags .

I would think any of the Ajing rods would work great for Micro or UL drop shotting.
One of my favorites was a 5’4” St Croix Panfish series rod . Its fast tip made feeling the light taps easy . And the UL power made it fun to reel them in .
I did bump up to 3 and sometimes 4# test , but still lot a few rigs .
Worked great during the colder months when I needed to slow down my presentation.
Just another fun method to catch gills .
