Shimano Sellus Susx72Mh Vs Convergence Cvs72Mhb Spinning

[ChiCityBasser]

I want a longer spinning rod in the MH/F or EF range for Texas rigs, jigs and other lighter plastics use off the back of the boat. I ran across these two as I like the lengths and the prices aren't bad with the Sellus being $60 and the Convergence being $70 and not looking to spend over $125. I figure the extra length would give me a bit more distance on the casts with the rods and a good hookset also with the MH. They would both be used with either 8 lbs Pline CXX or 15-30 lbs braid. The Sellus has Aluminum Oxide guides while the Convergence has Fuji Aluminum Oxide guides. The line ratings for both are exactly the same for Mono 8-14# and PowerPro Braid 5-30# and the lure weights for both are exactly the same as well at 3/16-5/8oz.

Warranty:Convergence = Over the counter limited lifetime warranty

Sellus = 1 year warranty

Any suggestions on these two rods or recommendations would be appreciated.

This is a question that I had today as well. I wanted to go to s spinning outfit for my plastics but I wanted one that was tough enough to throw heavier weights as well as the light ones. I was going to go Sellus but I went Convergence.....I guess we'll see next week when it arrives! I'll be glad to give you a report. I think it will be a great rod. I wasn't going to invest a ton in a spinning outfit so I bought the Sedona 2500 and the Convergence. I think it's going to be great. Have a great weekend!

You get a chance to try the new rod out yet?

I wish. I didn't get in time for my trip last night. It was supposed to be 2nd day air but hasn't arrived yet. Scheduled for delivery today. I'll give you an update asap. I did have another good night with my Powell diesel rod though... That thing is great! Looking forward to trying that shimano though. Let ya know my friend!
