Shimano Cumara Spinning Rods

The new Shimano Cumara Spinning Rod Series is the ultra-performance bass rod series from Shimano. Designed specifically for bottom-bouncing techniques, these rods are surprisingly versatile due to their premium construction. The Cumara features IM-10 graphite blanks which have been tested to be incredibly sensitive yet deceptively powerful. The Cumara definitely holds its own in regards to performance with many other expensive rods. In fact the Cumara was voted 2008 Best Value Rod by Tackle Tour.

The first thing you will notice about the Cumara rods is that they are extremely lightweight. Shimano was able to bring down their total weight by combining lighter EVA Shaped Foam Grips, a split-grip handle, a small foregrip and an extremely minimalist reel seat.

The carbon in the new custom Carbon Insert Reel Seat greatly increases the sensitivity of this rod – acting as an extension of the blank and sending all of the vibrations into the angler's palm and fingers. The sensitivity exhibited in the Cumara is deadly in slow presentation applications, as well as, deep water where sensitivity is imperative. The superior sensitivity ensures you feel even the subtlest taps.

The Cumara also excels in casting light and weightless baits, but is competent at throwing larger lures and can even be used for finesse pitching. The Cumara has an unexpected amount of power to move fish and even though it has a high modulus blank it doesn't feel overly stiff. Designed to be a rod for plastics and jigs , it can pull double duty in a pinch as a light cranking or jerkbait stick. You really can't go wrong with the Shimano Cumara Spinning Rod Series – the features, quality and price are all there.

Comments: Two start with I own four of the spinning rods.  Two 6'8" Med Xfast, one 6'8" Med Hvy and one 7'2" Med Hvy. The 6'8" Med Xfast rods are great.  Light weight and sensitive. Though designed for dropshots, I have also used them for throwing small shad raps and small x-raps.  They work like and charm. The 6'8" Med hvy is also a great rod.  The action is just slightly heavier and the rod a little more stiff. Still a joy to fish with.  I am not as impressed with the 7'2" Med Hvy rod.  To me, it feels a little tip heavy.  Doesn't seem to be as sensitive either. All the rods have great backbone and good guides.  You can't go wrong with the 6"8" models.

Comments: Bought the 7'2" MH Fast Spinning about three weeks ago. Took it on my trip to Canada very anxious to test it out. Well what a disappointment. The reel seat foam started splitting 3 days into use and the entire reel seat came unglued and fell apart in my hands. I've had Loomis rods for years that I've never had any issues with and this thing lasted less than a week. Unbelievable poor quality. Stay away from this rod.

Comments:Got the 7'6" cumara and I'm loving it. The weight and hook setting power on this rod is amazing! Gonna get more cumaras!!!

From:Cher: Wisconsin, USA

Comments: Got the 6'8" Med/Xfst paired with a CI4 2500 Time for my review: Balance is horrible, nothing 2oz of solder couldn't fix. Rod loads up nicely with a heavy baits 4-5" yamamoto senko. Rod is horrible for lighter baits, 4" hula grubs. Hook holder is the worst design I've ever seen. Not very sensitive even with fireline. Is not half the rod of my GL3 6'6" med Xfst. If this is the first expensive rod you ever bought it will seem nice. Guides are extremely noisy with superline, my Gl3 is dead quiet. Time to return this over rated rod for another gl3 Don't waste your money.

Comments:I have the 7'2" Cumara rod paired up with the Shimano Stradic CI4 2500 series. This is by far the best combo I have in my arsenal. You can feel everything with this rod.
