Shimano Crucial spinning?

[jbmaine]

Hi all,

I have a Shimano Crucial spinning rod crs-x68m, med, extra fast. I've had this rod for years, but have never really got comfortable with it. I have 6'6" shimano compre and St. Croix Avid med. fast and extra fast rods to compare it to, but the Crucial feels totally different. The most comfortable use I've found for it is throwing weightless T-rig Senkos.

 Do any of you have, or have used this rod? What do you think of it, what do you throw with it?

                                                        Thanks

I have a 6'-10" M F that I still fish often. EVA or Cork model? I have also owned XF models. Your rod would work for heavier drop shot rigs, grubs, small swim baits, small topwater, ned, and more.

Cool! Miss this rod series. Great mid priced rods. Expride isn't too shabby either.

You're not alone!

It's like casting with a broom stick. I bought together on special with a MH - Fast Crucial. That rod is fine.
