Paging Lmg - Clarus Vs Compre Vs Crucial Vs Cumara

[The Rooster]

At least you can fish!  I can't until season opens on June 22nd, 2013. 

I would go crazy. In KY we can fish year round, there is no season on it.

I would recommend the Clarus Crankbait rod - spent over 6 hours this past Friday using mine slinging a square bilI.  No issues at all.   am a cost conscious buyer when it comes to rods.  I have yet to pay more than $110 for any rod in my inventory.  I own four different Clarus rods (the crankbait casting, two of the worm and jig casting and one of the worm and jig spinning), a Compre Musky Rod (my swimbait rod and live bait rod when in the salt), and a Crucial spinning rod.  All three are rock stars.  The Clarus rods were all $79 from BPS, while the Compre was on sale at BPS for $99.  The Crucial was on sale at Green Top for $69.

 

The OTC warranty is no joke.  I use to own a Shimano 7'11" Crucial Swimbait rod I had purchased for $100.  I snapped the tip by accident leaving the house one day and was able to swap it out OTC for the newer model at no cost.  Ended up selling the rod, because it was too big to transport inside my vehicle and I had nowhere to store it in the house - 8' ceilings and all rooms have ceiling fans - YIKES!!!

 

Needless to say, the tallest rod in my household right now is 7'2" with most in the 6'6" - 6'10" range.

@Hanover thanks for info I may end up picking up another one of these for another application.
