Is the Shimano crucial spinning rod worth picking up for 83 dollars. I seen them on sale but do not know much about the rod. Looking for some input from you guys. Thanks

Absolutely!!!!! Brian.

I would agree.  My baitcasting rod is a Shimano Crucial worm and jig rod.  Great rod for the money at 120, better at 83.

Yes definitely.

I have a couple of the Crucial dropshot rods and they were worth every penny I spent on them - $150+ for the new 6'8" Med and $80 for the used 6'8" ML I got on Ebay.  Nice sticks with a very good warranty. 

very nice rod. I'd not buy it at retail price since shimano no longer offers lifetime warranties.  is this online deal?

Yes an online deal. It is the black grip handle one not the cork

The EVA grip Model's(IM10) will have the Lifetime Warranty. Brian.

Great rod for the money.  I would say, go for it and don't look back.

At $83 I would buy more than one

Absolutely! At $120 it's a fabulous rod as was mentioned by another poster. At $83 you're crazy for not pickling one up. It's an IM10 blank that is super sensitive and strong. This could easily be your favorite rod.

great deal

Should I buy this deal or just upgrade my broken St. Croix Premiere to an higher end one as well as my broken Avid? Or do all three hehehehe?? Help me with this dilemma!

Whether to buy it or not depends on how and where are you planning to fish with it. It is not a wise idea to buy something just because it is cheap. That`s why companies make discounts, so that people can buy unnecessary stuff without actually thinking what they really need.

Well I need a new spinning rod because mine broke last outing last year. I plan on using it for shakey head mainly.

My girlfriend begs to differ....
