Just got this rod in and I was able to try it for the first time today and I was VERY disappointing. First of all it feels like a broom stick and doesn't have ANY vibration on the tip of the rod, so I can even tell if my crank is running, or stuck up in weeds. I got the rod because I heard it was great for fishing deep cranks in vegetation, but again I was not very impressed....The reason for so much disappointment is that I was recommended this rod by many people and never saw a bad review...Am I the only person who has thrown this rod to not like it? What are your experiences?

Thanks,

VC

I thought this was a popular rod!

Also, has anyone used the new 7'11" MH Shimano Clarus Crankbait rod?

I have the new Compre 7' cranking rod and I like it but have only used it twice this year.
