My opinion is deadstick rods are good at one thing and one thing only, being a deadstick. Baitfeeder reels make a dedicated deadstick rod unnecessary in my opinion. I put my baitfeeders on rods that can pull double duty. I use a “deadstick” every time I am fishing for walleye, I toss a baitfeeder on it and a bell and I am rocking.
