so iv heard different reports on this I'm wondering can anyone clear this up for me?
right now I'm using a 10'6 ,10-20 lb rated rod
I'm wondering if i can use this rod for drifting for springs as well?

Short answer: Yes. Some people would say you need a heavier rod. Some would say you could use one lighter.

ya you can i use a 10'6, 12-20 pound rod. I've landed a couple of 50 pounders on it.

Set the clutch right on your reel to match your line and your rod shouldn't be in any danger should you hook the big one.

My 11'6" 10-20 lb rod has landed many springs and is my main rod for the river.

Seems a little long to me for drifting.  I guess it all depends on what you mean by drifting.  Are you pulling plugs, bouncing eggs, jet diving spin & glows, etc.?  What kind of water are you in?

It's good!
Like Terry D says,
make sure your drag is set right and you will have no worries.
It's about what's comfortable really.
If you can haul fish with this setup for an entire day without feeling tired, it's good!
