dam0007 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 My brother just surprised me with one for my bday, few weeks late but hey, I can't complain. Any of you guys use these before? Think i'm gonna throw the CI4 2500 on here. Super light weight. Quote
coolhandlala Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I have one and I use it for tubes in open water. It's a blast to get a 4-5lb smallie on. Quote
dam0007 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 Awesome to hear! I may use this for throwing worms. Read this rod by model # is for drop shotting. See the curve in the rod is to the left a little bit not away from the guides as how it should be, made in china what can I say. Other than that the craftsman ship is nice all around and feels light as a feather Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted November 19, 2012 Super User Posted November 19, 2012 Would be a good drop shot rod for sure. A nice birthday gift... happy late birthday! Quote
Shane Procell Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I use alot of Cumaras. They have a great warranty. Quote
dam0007 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks kicker. Can't wait to get some time on the water. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted November 20, 2012 Super User Posted November 20, 2012 I believe the rod weighs 4.4 ounces from what I recall. If you stick CI4 2500 on it your outfit without line would check in under 11.5 ounces which is good for spinning outfit of that legnth. I would put 8# sunline sniper or seaguar invisix on it and call it good. Shakeyheads, split shot rigs, and drop shots and even tubes would be perfect for the rod. I would stay within the 1/8-3/16 oz range of baits but wouldn't hesitate to go up to 1/4 in a pinch. This outfit would serve you well for years to come! Quote

Have this setup and is light and sensitive. Use it mostly for shaky head fishing. Congrats and you will enjoy it! Quote
dam0007 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 I'm dedicated to 6# Spider Wire mono but def thanks for lure weight recommendation. I think my worms with added worm weight come in just shy of 1/4. Quote
0119 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Ive got the same outfit, its a dream. Over the counter warranty was a breeze the one time I broke 6" off the tip by my error. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted November 22, 2012 Super User Posted November 22, 2012 Everyone needs a brother like that! Quote
dam0007 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Haha he actually said his limit was $100 but got the Cumara on sale. I saw it on TW for $129 it was like half off but still, great gift. Quote
