Super User buzzed bait Posted February 11, 2014 Super User Posted February 11, 2014 I recently off loaded a bunch of rods that I rarely used to a member on the site with hopes of buying a new upgraded combo. however some stupid eyeglasses took the funds away. my wife managed some gift card money at work and gave me a $50 BPS card which i combined with my ~$15 rewards at BPS. I used that $65 and put towards a new Shimano Compre Casting Rod 7'2" Med Hvy X Fast for jigs. All I can say is WOW I like this rod for $109!! Super sensitive! I was dragging a 3/8oz jig on the bottom on sunday and could literally feel every little bump in the road. Best part was I was able to put it to the test and got a little bend in the rod before the day was over. Managed to land a nice little 4lber on the trial run! i have it paired with my older model bantam curado which didn't balance it as well as i would like so it's a work in progress, but I absolutely love the rod, may be my first of a few Shimano rods! 1 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 11, 2014 Super User Posted February 11, 2014 Good stuff man. Those old bantam Curados are awesome reels and have stood the test of time. Glad you got a nice fish on the test run Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 12, 2014 Super User Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I was going to say, lucky guy can fish in February. The Compre is a good rod, enjoy! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 12, 2014 Super User Posted February 12, 2014 Good quality rod! Great warranty, to boot!! I like the previous models even more, though. The slim cork grips were (are) my favs. Quote
