ArkieHawg Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 The insert on the tip broke pulling in a fish and the third guide from the tip broke last week on a hookset. Like I said, maybe I just had a lemon? A few terribly rough rides over memorial day weekend could have contributed to the guide break, although all my other rods made the same rides. Never had a single problem with my Cumulus or Crucial Rods. Im not poor mouthing Shimano, 3/4 of all rods/reels are Shimano...just have hit a few bumps with the Cumara. Quote
philsoreel Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I had a tip break off of my 7'2" spinning rod....when I rammed it into my ceiling like I was flounder gigging. Over the counter warrantied all I had to pay was shipping. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted June 7, 2011 Super User Posted June 7, 2011 I've yet to get my hands on a Cumulus, thankfully. I've had a standing order for a 7-1 but it's never appeared. I'm hoping that they introduce more in the line this year. Quote
philsoreel Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I almost jumped on a Cumulus this winter. A store on ebay had them for $295 shipped but that was the only fishing gear they had and only had like 4 available. It seemed a little fishy to me so passed on it. If I got one it would be the 7'1" used as a jig/c-rig rod. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted June 7, 2011 Author Super User Posted June 7, 2011 Im convinced. I believe I will pick one up sometime this week. From what yall have said they seem to be high quality at a decent price. Now to get shopping. Quote
