I am thinking of getting a Shimano Compre rod for my Abu Garcia 4600c3, I am looking at the 6 1/2 ft in a medium action. Two questions: Is the medium action ok or would I be better served gettin a MH, also what which would be better a fast or extra fast tip. I forgot to mention that this is going to be a general purpose rig for now.

For general purpose I would get a 6'6" med-hvy fast tip rod. Just my humble opinion.

BB, I would agree with your humble opinion.

I have two Shimano Compre CPC66x-m.  (Extra fast, medium action).  I fish smallmouth with them, using Shimano Calcutta 151's.  I can cast a 1/4 oz wt 60-80 feet, depending on how much I put into it. ;D.  I think they're great rods (I also have two spinning Compre's.)

I, too, agree with Bass-Brat.

Thanks for the reply's guys, looks like the 6'6 medium heavy fast tip is going to get the nod. I'm thinking about even getting a revo sx or citica100d to go on it instead of the 4600 c3.

Im a very optimistic person but my friend has a compre and it seemed to be under rated he has a mh and it is whippy? i didnt really like it but thats just mpo many may love it u may love it to bad rods/reels wernt like golf clubs where u could demo them :-? im about be rich lol 8-) nobody steal my idea  :'( but for reel a fishing shop with a pond behind it to test out gear would be awesome

Hmmmm,. .. shop + pond... test fishing gear....hmmmm

You got a "patent pending" on this ???? ;D ;D

There are lots of fly fishing shops that will let you test the equipment in a special area (indoor or outdoor).

Wolud  be nice to have a place to test the product before you buy !!! Especially if you planning on dropping a couple hundred $$$$( not my case). But you might find out that an $ 600 combo is not that much better than the $200 combo, and not spend the extra dough...So the shop would loose some big ticked sales...and profit. I don't think they'll go for it  

It would of been done long time ago if it would be profitable.
