TightLines24 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 What is everyone's opinions on Shimano Crucial spinning rods. Bought a 6'6" medium fast and a 6'6" medium heavy fast. Got them brand new for $60 a piece. Looked to good to pass up! Quote
JustinJ Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Not my favorite but they will get thd job done Quote
PatrickKnight Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 For 60 bucks they are solid at full price you can do better. Quote
RichF Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I have an older crucial drop shot rod and love it. I really like the crucial line. At $60 i wouldve had a hard time not buying 10! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 13, 2017 Super User Posted March 13, 2017 Welcome aboard! Wow, $60 each?! Great buy, IMO. Don't use the Crucials, but I've eyed them in-store, handled them a lot. Like the feel, balance, prefer the older cork models, though... Quote

I fish from a kayak and they have a shorter butt which is helpful in the yak. 7 hours ago, Darren. said: Welcome aboard! Wow, $60 each?! Great buy, IMO.

Preytorien Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 I have one of the new spinning models paired with my Sustain as my finesse rig / river-wading-smallmouth rig. I love the rod. It's sensitive, built well, and looks good Quote
