Super User .dsaavedra. Posted September 11, 2007 Super User Posted September 11, 2007 hey guys! anyone know anything about this rod? how is it? anyone used it? hows that lifetime warranty? any info appreciated. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted September 11, 2007 Super User Posted September 11, 2007 Nice rods i have a 2 piece one. they dont come in many actions but the ones they do have are slow tipped it seems not bad for small/med shallow cranks and spinnerbaits .The warrenty is lifetime as i have said a few times i never had to take any back but my buddy did with NO QUESTIONS ASKED and got a brand new one.

Super User Jeff H Posted September 12, 2007 Super User Posted September 12, 2007 I found one in my pile of old rods this summer and took it out and tried it. I thought it was a excellent stick given it's price range. Liked it enough I left it in the boat and use it for throwing my suspending Husky Jerks. It is more sensitive then a Lightning Rod and is a bit lighter. Somebody show me a better rod for $40! Quote
Guest btlva Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I have 2 older model Convergence rods and I really like them. They were $40 when I bought them and that was the best $80 I've ever spent. I have a 6-6M that I've used for cranks and jerkbaits for years, and a 6-6MH that still makes a great senko/texas rig rod. The medium is surprisingly lightweight and is easy to cast all day. They're not exactly Loomis quality but they were a great buy for the price. Probably my biggest knock on them is that the guides are single-foot. I also own an older model 6' Stimula spinning rod, Stimula being the spinning version of the Convergence. I used that rod extensively in both fresh and saltwater for years but it is now retired. Please note that the Convergence series has been redesigned since I bought these ones, so there may be some noticeable differences. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted September 12, 2007 Author Super User Posted September 12, 2007 COOL! so far im really liken this rod. im gonna go check the shimano website to look for any changes like you said. im gonna have to check around stores for it and if i cant find it there then i guess i'll have to buy it from cabelas. it sucks that you have to add an additional $6 for shipping it though Quote
