anyone looking at new rods..
I just wanted to let anyone that is in the market for a new rod to seriously look at the shimano crucial.. I picked one up a few days ago for fishing jigs and I have never been happier with a rod.. The sensitivity of this rod is unreal, it was very clear when the bass picked up the jig.. I absolutely never threw jigs until today and i ended up boating 11 bass and 1 perch lol.. I thought my avids were sensitive until I fished this rod.. Anyways i just wanted to let everyone that is in the market know how amazing the sensitivity is on this line of rods...here was the biggest one of the day.. no idea on exact weight i know she is somewhere around 5 lbs.. the stomach on this girl was HUGE but you cant tell by the picture..needless to say i was cursing pretty good when i found out my scale was not in my tackle bag.. lol
Water temp was around 47 degrees

Which one do you have? I have the 7'2" DS spinning rod, and love it as well.

Proud owner of the 6'10" MH extra fast. They inevitably had to up their price a bit, but they are still worth evey penny. I am just lucky to have found mine for $59.00
