BC Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Folks - need some advice. Pretty set on buying a new Clarus casting rod. I'd like to be able to throw deep cranks from time to time, but I don't do a lot of it, and budget doesn't allow to buy a bunch of rods right now. So, versatility would be nice. I know that no rod can do it all. Looking at the 7'Clarus, in M/Medium Fast, M/Fast and MH/Fast. What do you think of these 3? Thanks, BC Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 You want versatility ? get the M Fast, I know those rods because I have some, don 't use them much except for the 6 '6" H but I 've never even considered selling them because you are not going to beleive me but I like them. The MH has the subtle action of a pool cue, great for jigging/worming/ spinnerbaiting but too stiff for cranking. The M/ medium fast is a little bit more on the medium than on the fast side, good for cranks but not exactly what I would like for jigging/worming/spinnerbait ( a little too forgiving ). The M/ fast has a very powerful blank but not to the point that it 's too powerful for cranks and not too noodly for jig/worm/spinnerbait duty. Quote
Blade-Runner Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 My 6'6" MH fast Clarus is the one rod I cannot switch out of my hitting order. Ultimate versatility. Works great for basically anything for me with old fashioned 15# Big Game. Especially good for spinnerbaits. Quote
mntreeman Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I have a 7' MHF and am totally satisfied with it. Very versatile rod. Quote
Bigdawg48 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 They are great rods. I use them for jig, worm, and carolina fishing! Great rods! Quote
BC Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 I went with the M/F, since I already had a couple other MH rods. Seems like it will be a nice crisp rod. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote
