Comments: I have 5 of these rods and have had them for about one month now. I am a guide here in northern utah so my rods get used every day and i also am using these as my tournament rods. They have held up for the last month that i have been beating them, no problems at all. I came from fishing loomis and by no means is this a NRX but it is comparable to the GLX anyday. I leave my two Mossyback G. Loomis rods home and have souly switched to these. My couple loomis rods will be my backups from now on. Thanks Shimano for the awsome affordable rods.

Comments: I just got a couple of these and i fished with them tonight and i must say that there is alot of sensitivity in this blank. I really think these are quality rods. we will see how they withstand the test of time though.
Comments: I love shimano rods but these are junk or at least the 2 I got . the first 1 was a Shimano Compre Casting Rod 6'8" Medium and 1st tourny it broke on 3rd fish , so NP I just took it 1 hr and a 1/2 from home and replaced with NP . Got home with the new Shimano Compre Casting Rod 7'2" Med Hvy and put the reel on it then pulled the line out and was setting drag for new rod , by holding the line and bowing the rod as if a fish was on it for the proper drag , and it broke in 3 places . Now I will be making that 1 1/2 hr trip again to pay a little more money and get a Shimano Crucial Casting Rods and never another one of these Compre defected things . I truely hope some peaple got a good one but 2 times and im out with these . I have 3 Crucials and there awesome.

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.
From: Gail: Indianapolis, IN
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.
From: Toledo Bend, LA
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.
From: Bryan: Lexington, KY
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!!!
