Thanks for the reply’s. I found a newer version of the clarus spinning rod for a good deal and think I’ll give it a shot!

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody on here has ever used a shimano clarus and what your thoughts are? I found a good deal on one and was wondering if they are solid rods?

Or could I just use alcohol?

Thanks for the info I will try it!

So I tore into it, and it was very very overgreased. I swabbed all of it off but am still confused on which bearing I should really be cleaning well? Is it the bearing that sits in the handle side plate?

So should I clean it and then put some oil on it?

So would this mean I have to replace the ar bearing or just wipe it down?

Hi all, I have a diawa tatula ct 100xs. When I set the hook the reel handle slips backwards. I have no idea why it’s doing this and I just payed a bunch of money for diawa to service it. Any ideas as to what the problem is? I feel like it’s something with the drag.

Thanks for the input all! I think I will be bumping down to a 7’6 mh clarus extra fast.

Thanks for the input! I do also have a 7’6 mh clarus extra fast. Thinking it might be a better action for pitching jigs on lay downs and dragging jigs. Not sure about docks though.

Yeah lol, I do also have a 7’6 mh extra fast clarus. That might be a better option.

Hi all, I’m in debate right now on a rod for all around jigs. I have this shimano clarus 7’10 medium fast action rod rated for up to an ounce. I wanna use it for my all around jig rod but am wondering if it’s gonna be to long for skipping and pitching. It would be really solid though because it has a soft tip to a really good back bone. Any input would be great!
