buzzfrog Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I didn't add convegance because I have never felt nor seen one for sell. I have a reel and no rod, lol like I need another rod but why go back in forth from tying T rigs to footballs. any way will be looking at 7'2 MH models. I have tried and used all models of shimano series up to new cumaras but want to keep this 100 or lower, so I can tell a slight difference in clarus and sellus but not much from clarus to compre. I know with jig taps you need a great rod; but do you think I could get away with a sellus for one. my current sellus is great topwater and sometimes spinnerbait rod, but well with those bites sensitivity isnt that big of a deal.

Super User Jrob78 Posted August 6, 2013 Super User Posted August 6, 2013 For jigs and t-rigs, I use the best rod I can afford. To me, these are the techniques where sensitivity is the most crucial and where I think you get the most value for your dollar on higher end rods. I don't have any experience with either of those rods though. Quote
buzzfrog Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Unless I can find a crucial used a hundo is we're I wanna stay atm Quote
Cgrinder Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Used Crucials for $100 shipped on a certain internet auction site. Cumaras for $175, too. Otherwise, Compre. Quote
buzzfrog Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 there was a guy selling crucials on fleamarket and missed them, yea gonna try to get a used one Quote
Dyerbassman Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I loved my Sellus...until it snapped in half. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted August 6, 2013 Super User Posted August 6, 2013 the labor day sale is coming with most vendors the last week of the month. just wait until then and get a better rod for the same price. Quote
cbass12 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I've tried both the clarus and compre in 7'2" and I prefer the clarus. The compre seemed a little heavier to me. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted August 7, 2013 Super User Posted August 7, 2013 Clarus is the cheapest and comes with a lifetime warranty. Not a bad rod. Quote
Arv Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Had the Sellus, not bad for the price, but I sold it. Still have a Compre so that gets my vote. Quote
EvanT123 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I have a sellus, clarus, loomis, and compre. You could count me in the shimano/shiloomis club. The sellus is a nice rod but the clarus and compre are better. Between those two I think the difference is marginal. I'm pretty sure they have the same real seat but a different grip. I'd chose the one that feels better to me. Quote
