island bassin Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I have just received a 7" xfast of this model. Looks like a heavy duty rod. Which are the best presentations/lures to use this rod? I'm planning to use it for big spinnerbaits&lipless (over 1/2oz), fishing plastics with texas method as well as senkos/ikas. Thanks Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted January 22, 2008 Super User Posted January 22, 2008 I don't own that model, but I've checked them out. Your rod will work just fine for your intents, as well as jigs. Quote
island bassin Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 I actually forgot to mention jigs Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 22, 2008 Super User Posted January 22, 2008 I looked at a lot of Shimano rods yesterday, Compre's and Crucial's, first time I have ever paid much attention to there rods. The seemed like fantastic rods for a great price, so I would be interested in any reveiws of these rods as well. Quote
Irrelevant Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Well, speak of the devil. I ordered the 7' Medium/Medium-Fast model of this rod and just received it today. When I took it out of the shipping tube, I was surprised at how light it was. Haven't got to play around with it yet, though. Literally just opened it. Quote
Matt Jungblut Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 i had the compre casting 6'6" mh and it was a sweet rod i used it for cranks spinnerbaits and it worked great and they have a really good warrenty for under $100 best rod u can buy Quote
The_Natural Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I used Compre's before I went with Loomis (the older brown blanked version), and they performed excellently. Congrats...should be very versatile. Quote
