6'8 shimano compre medium rod question

Featured Replies

Anyone have this rod? In a casting model. Lure weight says 1/8-1/4. It also says medium fast. It looks to me as if its more of a medium light. I was gonna use it for flukes, senkos, light spinnerbaits and maybe tubes. But its probably too light? I now they also make an extra fast version but im not a big fan of extra fast rods. 

If anybody have this rod please chime in. If asked for suggestions here before and it has always worked out good. Thanks again!

 

I haven't owned that rod but Shimano does make drop shot casting rods with a very limber tip that personally I wouldn't want to use for anything but drop shot, wacky rigs, or other exposed hook baits. I'd try to check and see if it is the drop shot model before buying. Personally i prefer a stiffer rod for most of the techniques you mentioned but it may fit your style fine as everyone is a little different.
