I'm using a Helium 'medium' for my dropshot. I'm actually using the HE76MS. I know it seems long for a dropshot, but I fish the shore a lot and it's great to get out over the tops of branches and tullies that are on the shore. I mainly dropshot 1/4 oz with 10 lb fluoro. Sometimes 1/8 oz with 8 lb fluoro. It works great for both. It also feels real good for small, shallow cranks.

It did take some getting used to though. Because it's so long I had to learn to shake the rod without moving the weight. It only took a few trips to get the feel for it.
