all you need for trolling is a flexible glass rod like an 8' med/light wilderness trolling rod at around 20.00.
for drifting I still prefer a simple rod with more action and a little better sensitivity. the ugly stick gx2 med action 4 to 20 lb line in the length that's best for you. neither rod requires a lot of sensitivity as they are usually in a rod holder or propped up against the side of the boat if drifting. but the gx2 has plenty of sensitivity for casting on the drift. now for casting baits then sensitivity comes into play and that's another story.
