I bought a Shimano Compre back a bit ago this year and was wondering what some of the best uses would be?
Its a 6'10" MH XF tip with lure rating of 3/8 to 1 oz I was thinking spinnerbaits what do you think? What else could I use it for? Thank You!

I like something with a little more "give" in the tip for reaction type lures. However, dont rule that out as a good swim jig/chatterbait/spinnerbait rod. Think "short range" casting. Worms and Jigs skipped under docks are also well suited.

Sounds like a good spinnerbait rod to me (though, it might have trouble loading any 1/4 oz. spinnerbaits you may throw).

Sounds like a good one for smaller jigs/plastics to me. Would probably also be a good spinnerbait/buzzbait rod.
