Shimano Compre Casting Rods
Featuring high modulus IM-9 graphite blanks and premium components, the Shimano Compre Casting Rods ride the edge between top-of-the-line performance and affordability. Super sensitive and powerful to boot, they are workhorse rods that can withstand the abuse of serious fishing.

The reel seats also tighten from below the reel for a sleek, new threadless look. Improved and update, the Shimano Compre Casting Rods continue be one of Shimano’s most popular and enduring series of rods.

Comments: If you're looking for a rod with good sensitivity, I would NOT recommend this line of rods from Shimano. Not to mention their horrible customer service. Broke the rod setting the hook on a fish about a month after I bought it. Shimano refused to pay for shipping, and it took them over a month to do any warranty work. I'm done with Shimano. I'll stick to St. Croix and Cashion Rods.

Comments: I was looking for bad reviews on this rod before I bought it, but everyone seems to like it for the most part. So I bought it, then I sent it back the next day. I have never fished a rod less sensitive than this. I bought the 6'8"MH jig rod and it is horrible at fishing jigs. Mushy. I swear I was missing fish. Everything is like a clump of grass. I was fishing water that I fish all the time, and it was as if someone sucked up all of the rocks, 'cause I couldn't feel them at all. It's too bad too, because I really like the way it feels in the hand, it's super comfy. Maybe for spinnerbaits or crankbaits this line of rods is fine, but not for jigs. Oh, and somebody else mentioned the xtra fast is more like fast, I wouldn't even call it fast. It's slooooow.

Comments: Very good rods!!! Do not let the price range fool you! These new compre rods feature the old crucial rod blank. Rods are light and sensitive. Only question i have on this series of rods are why the guides on heavy action rods are bigger than other models. All are what i call " double footed" and are noticeably bigger than what's on MH models. These are very good rods for any level angler.

Comments: I really enjoy the fact you can have so much contact with the blank. Good all around rod. There are a couple of issues though. I find myself constantly tightening the grip. It seems like no matter how tight I get it it'll loosen. The extra fast tip also seems to be more of a fast.

Comments: I purchased the Compre 7'2" heavy to fish both the jig and big worm. I absolutely love this rod and would highly recommend it. The new Shimano design for the Compre line is really nice and for just over $100 and free shipping...you can't beat it!
From: Ron: Trabuco Canyon, CA
Comments: I really like the feel of this new design, especially the fact that there are no threads at the reel seat to bother my fingers. Don't like the design of the hook keeper!!!
