Cumara

[JohnF]

I want to get a nice spinning rod for finesse type baits. The one I had decided on seems to be hard to find so being the impatient soul I am I thought perhaps a Cumara would serve for the nonce (because it's on the rack and only a little bit more money). Any thoughts pro or con, or suggestions of anything better for the money?

 

I should have said that I've done a search and read the previous posts about them but most deal more with the trigger rod line, not spinning (except for one person who said theirs broke too easily).

I don't own it, I do have a Crucial though, but I've picked up the Cumara and checked the feel of it more times than I can remember. Very nice rod, super light, and well worth it I'm sure of it. I say go for it.

cumara = a beautiful rod, 2 of my good friends / fishing buddies have them spinning and bait cast .. and let me say.. WOW

the things are nice and light and will defenetly do the trick

I really like St Croix rods myself, and they are similar in price for a nice rod. I have an Avid series which I use for finesse work. For less money the premier series rods are also very nice. I have one of these as well and I honestly can't feel much of a difference between this and the avid.

I've had a Cumara for almost three years now. I really like it, from what I can remember? My girlfriend has taken it over. She just had carpel tunnel surgery so I gave here the lightest rod to use I had, she won't give it back. Go for it a really nice rod.

if you like it get it, it is an awesome rod and will give you years of service, I was going to grab one but ended up with a legend elite st.croix and that was just because the shimano core reel felt more balanced on the croix, but most of the high end stuff feels good

Although I don't personally own a Cumara (I prefer 2-piece rods for travel convenience), I think it's difficult to go wrong with Shimano's Cumara line. On paper, they seem to be a good value for a high-performance rod.

 

High quality components, light weight and a modern, yet understated appearance, I'm sure it would be a pleasure to fish all day. Plus, a solid warranty should give you the confidence and peace of mind to fish it aggressively.

 

And dammit -- you deserve to treat yourself to something nice once in a while. Am I right?

I just asked me and the unanimous response was a resounding "YES! Yer worth it."
