Super User Hooligan Posted March 21, 2011 Super User Posted March 21, 2011 Huh, didn't know everyone liked the Cumara spinning like that. (BTW, I'd go CI4 and Cumara) Quote
Canga Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 personally, id go either pflueger supreme xt or patriarch (30 or 35 size) and the ST Croix Avid of your choice. spooled with sufix 832 with the fluoro leader of your choice! Quote
SGT Rico Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 I forgot to mention, I am also a Shimano fan.. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 21, 2011 Super User Posted March 21, 2011 I forgot to mention, I am also a Shimano fan.. In that case, I say spoil yourself and blow your whole budget on a Cumulus. Quote
djmax22 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 For that kind of coin I would be patient and get a 803 or 803 Loomis GLX from a fishing forum for around 250 and pair it with a Shimano Stradic FI. Having owned both the FI and the CI4 I don't feel like there is that big of difference in performance (although the CI4 looks good). Quote
-nick- Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I forgot to mention, I am also a Shimano fan.. In that case, I say spoil yourself and blow your whole budget on a Cumulus. Hahah x2! It might take you longer to have the set up, but once you finally have it all pieced together I'm sure you'll be glad you had the patience! Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 How about a custom built this St Croix blank: 5S69MLXF-B 6'9" 1 6-10 1/8-1/2 ML X-FAST Drop Shot Bass .43 4 1.7 Tennessee Carbon Grip With the Stradic, 20lb braid, a 6' 8lb fluoro leader and tungsten weight. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 If I had $400 to spend on what I would consider the best finesse spinning set-up, I would get the following: G Loomis BSR852 GLX (If you are patient enough, you can get this for around $250 to $270). Pflueger Supreme 8030 or 8035 Fluorocarbon Line of your choice in 8 or 10 lb. test Note: This is just my opinion as to what I consider the best spinning finesse set-up out there for under $400 Quote
px68 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 st croix ltb 6'9" ml -230.00 shimano ci4 1000 or 2500= 200.00 Quote

It might take you longer to have the set up, but once you finally have it all pieced together I'm sure you'll be glad you had the patience! I have paid $280 or less for all but one of my Cumulus rods. That and a $165 CI4(have purchased three at that price from this forum and others) would be pretty close to his budget. :-X Quote
