The Wychwood Agitator Drop Shot DS Mk2 is a dedicated drop shot rod built for anglers who want a sensitive tip without giving up hook-setting bite. It is the second-generation DS-MKII design, tuned with a slightly faster action than the rod it replaced.
Wychwood aims this one squarely at predator anglers chasing zander, perch and pike. The crisp, sensitive blank reads small knocks and bony-mouth takes, while keeping enough forgiveness to hold a hook in softer-mouthed species such as chub.
The range spans five two-piece lengths, from a tight 6ft 3in up to an 8ft 3in. Casting ratings run from a light 2-14g through to a 5-20g model, so there is a length and weight band for close bank work or longer, more open swims.
The blank is made from high-modulus 24T no-flash carbon, which keeps the rod light in the hand through a long session of working lures. Sea Guide componentry and deep-drawn, braid-friendly SiC guides handle modern braided lines without chewing through them.
An ergonomic handle and precision custom guide spacing round off a tidy, balanced setup. Overall it reads as a sensible, well-specified choice for anyone building a focused drop shot armoury on a fair budget.
