BDfishing Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 It was suppose to say better spinning rod? Which do u feel is better Shakey head rod, St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass or Shimano Cumara Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 15, 2015 Super User Posted May 15, 2015 I think you would like the St. Croix Legend. http://stcroixrods.com/products/freshwater/legend-tournament-bass Quote
rangerjockey Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I like the cumara, Ive heard some rumours of a new cumara so there may be some deals to be had on the current models..time will tell. You may want to look at the Zodias, I have the 7ft. ML and its a great shakey head rod.I also use it for the ned rig and i think it will handle a 3/16 tube also...I think its equal to the cumara in sensitivity. Quote
ChrisWi Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I'd go st croix, better warranty and rod in my opinion. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted May 15, 2015 Super User Posted May 15, 2015 Check the feel of each rod. Pick the one that you personally like and suits your needs. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Save a few bucks and get an Avid. Not much difference between the Avid and LTB to justify the price difference IMO, but if it is just between the two, the LTB is still a sweet rod. I have never used a Cumara, but I can't imagine you would be disappointed with a St. Croix. Quote
wnspain Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I own plenty of St. Croix, all good rods IMO, but the Cumara is a quality rod also...very sensitive! Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted May 15, 2015 Super User Posted May 15, 2015 The older black/charcoal colored blank Cumara rods are some of the best rods ever made and highly sought after. You would probably be after the 7'2 or 6'8 medium fast spinning rod. I have 4 Gen 1 Cumara rods that I won't part with. The newer gen cumaras are ok but just not a fan of red blank or the handle. The Zodias would be worth a look too. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 16, 2015 Super User Posted May 16, 2015 St. Croix over any shimano rod, IMO Quote
massrob Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Has anyone used a Kistler klx? I just got one and I'm gonna use it for shakey heads. it's 7 ft med fast. Any thoughts about it would be appreciated. Thanks Quote
