Shimano Convergence Musky Rods

[muskyhunter5150]

Just wondering if any one has had any experience with the shimano convergence musky rods. Thinking of buying one but want to hear some of your opinions before I go buy it.

 

 

Thanks, Josh

Josh you are much better off to buy the Compre.

For muskie, I would go Compre as well. The Convergence is available in a muskie casting model but I haven't tried it. For the price, I might be tempted to try it.

Thanks everyone for there replys.

I was thinking about getting the Compre but i only have 110 to spend and i think it's like 140 at the store i usally go to. So i think I'll grab the convergence and see how it works.

you should be able to pick up a compre for 110 or 115 without a problem.

 

JB's has them for $115 for sure

weird....i stopped by JB's the other day to check out their musky baits and thought everything was over-priced.

I'm also a Compre fan and much prefer them over the St. Croix musky rods, infact I've sold off most of my St. Croix's and am gradually replacing them all with Compres.

There is a difference in the details between IM-8 and IM-6 blanks plus if you look at the warranty Compre limited lifetime, Convergence is 1 year plus which guides will wear out quicker?

Compre is the better value.

I wouldn't even wear a shimano hat..

 

Berkley Tactix is a bargain as well.

Go with the compres, your in peterborough and so is the warranty centre, they have a lifetime warranty and stand by their products, as Im sure others do as well, but you most likely will have no down time if something bad should happen, and no shipping and handling charges etc.
