Comments: I had a Crucial for 10+ years and it broke this summer......KUDOS to Shimano's warranty. I sent the broken rod to the factory and they sent me a new CURADO. Wow am I impressed; both by the integrity of Shimano and the quality of the new Curado line; light, strong, sensitive. Way to go TW and Shimano!!!

Comments: Did not want to spend $300 or more on spinning rod so I decided to try the 7'm model and I am very pleased with it. Can't believe how light it is and it is sensitive enough to feel bites. Caught some decide Alabama bass on it so far throwing a wacky rigged senior and small 3" swimbaits. Very good buy for the price.

Comments: I have the 7'ml for Ned rig and drop shot. Set-up with a spirex 2500 feels good and balanced. The rod has a very light tip and sensitivity is much better than the SLX it replaced. I only use this rod for open hook techniques, it is to light to drive a hook thru plastics on a long cast. This rod would work great for small cranks also
