Is anyone fishing the new Model Shimano Convergence or Clarus BC Rods?

I am considering either the 6'8 M in the Convergence or Clarus or the 6'8 M XF in the Clarus for a light duty Worm/Jig Rod. No Heavy Cover, Grass etc.

I mostly fish a River for Smallmouth but occasionally fish a small Lake for LM but don't want to invest in the High End Rods for the little LM Fishing I do.

I would mostly be using 1/4 OZ Jigs and 7" Worms with 1/4 OZ Bullet Sinkers but just wondering about the max 1/4 OZ Rating for the Medium Version. The XF Clarus is rated for 3/8.

Shimano lists these as a Worm/JIg Rod, just curious about what those that use them think about them.

I just purchased a Convergence rod, crankbait model, only used it at a pond to see how it felt. It was sensitive enough, could feel the crank, the bottom, grass, etc. Only time will tell how well I like it. It seems well made, has a lifetime over the counter warranty, and very reasonable. For 2012 the Convergence is rated as IM7 and Clarus IM8 as far as graphite content. I don't think you would go wrong with either, I would stay away from the xf but that is a personal preference, staying with a regular fast option will allow you to throw the lighter weights easier. Good luck
