Tried my new Shimano Cumara

[Redtail]

I can't believe the sensitivity in the Shimano Cumara Baitcaster.  It made my allstar feel like a broom stick.  What a difference.

I'm sure all the higher end rods give you great sensitivity as well, and I don't have anything to compare it to, but for $200 bucks I'm extremely happy with this rod.  I also have the Cumara spinning rod I haven't tried yet.

Oh-oh!

Once you have been bitten by the high-end, there's no going back.

Amen - thanks to this forum on this site, I was bitten last fall.  

Yesterday I went shore fishing with my brother who found a new spot to fish, and all I had was my baitcaster.  He was casting a jerkbait out really far to the holding area, which was not possible with the baitcaster because there were trees and brush around.  Instead of using his other rod ($40 combo), I walked back to my car (10 minute round trip), got my Stradic/IMX, and went back  8-)  Times have changed for me.

i will let u know how i like the rod

i went backwards sold my 724 imx to buy the 6'8" meduim extra fast

but i did it because i have a 844 imx & a arruis xl 6'8"

and it was to dang hard to use the 7 and almost 7 foot rod then pick up my 6 foot rod

i hear that they feel like a imx so i should be happy

The Cumara is an amazing rod.  Loomis needs to take design notes.

I almost pulled the trigger on one of these a week ago.  I had intended to get a mod./fast rod for crankbaits but when I picked up the Cumara I started to get side tracked.  The models I looked at were light, seemed powerful and I liked the foam grips.  

I ended up with a Loomis crankbait rod but I sure was tempted to get a Cumara.  I just wish they had one that was geared just for cranks.

I hope to get one by the end of the year, but in canada they are quite expensive. I was thinking medpower fast action 7'2'' for smallies

I probably own 20+ loomis rods, just bought a Steez (rod and reel, have not used yet), and a Kistler LTX (have not used), went fishing with a guide yesterday, fished with two of his Cumara rods. After the trip, went to the local baitshop and bought 2 Cumaras. Don't know what I am gonna  do with the kistler and the steez, but am definitely gonna sell some loomis rods.
