GBW Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Or better yet, use one? I want to get a better back-up of a back-up and at the price I can get it; it looks to be ok. So has anyone used a new Shimano Sellus rod yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 That's all Shimano wants to do is Sellus rods. Man do they ever Sellus a lotta rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 That's all Shimano wants to do is Sellus rods. Man do they ever Sellus a lotta rods. One for every lure!!! They should label them with the lure they're meant for - oh wait, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 They look like they are in the 50-60 dollar range and look like they are a newer version of the voltare or whatever the one dave used to chatch a shark with. The guides look better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guides look better though. Are you referring to the Volteus? I was taking a look at them the other day, and it looks like a decent back up rod. The guides looked horrendously low budget and flimsy though. Anyone on here use that rod? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remastered Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) One for every lure!!! They should label them with the lure they're meant for - oh wait, they do. Gotta have one for drop shot, one for flippin, one for pitchin, one for crankin, even though it won't make a difference... Screw that! I'm going to a bass tournament with my 20$ rod and reel!

All I can tell you is that it's a far, far better rod than the Ugly Stiks I've used. Edited October 31, 2011 by Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Come on down to Gagnon Sports. We have roughly 20 or so models in right now. There a nice rod for the money, ask for Mike, would love to meet some more OFNr's Selling for $49.99 and $59.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhenrygsr Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 The Sellus is not a bad rod when you first look at it it matches the same colours as a chronarch OPPS in my opinion. I really like my 2012 Compre's. I use to be a Fenwick diehard till they stop producing the Techna's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 with your discount just grab it GBW. However, if you are paying full price I'd do a bit more research and compare them to other brands in the price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 rather then doing a lot of multi quotes (too lazy, HA) yes it is the new white one, it's in the low $ range, I have a voltaus (SP?) and funny enough it's a great rod. so this is a rod for others to use (wife ) if I don't like it. Your right Phil, at the price I found it for I think I will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I just being too critical, lol. no issues casting at all with a spinning reel. I love that it's cork and not eva and yes I did land my biggest musky on it.

Or am I just being too critical, lol. Only issue with the guides is that PowerPro noise... So, no, no issues, at least not yet. Again, I don't know how they stack up to other rods, but I've been considering buying a few as gifts and a second for myself to replace my already-replaced-now-a-backup Ugly Stik. I can cast further, it's thinner and lighter, I feel a lot more, has a lifetime warranty. Better in every way. Right now I feel like I don't need a fancy, expensive rod. I'm no tourney angler, though, and I have no doubt there are better rods out there. But I'm happy, and the difference is pretty big for me.

manitoubass2 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Right on Dana and GBW! Thansk for the input. I was hoping there was some good reviews on it, cause I am always in need of spares, and I got a $50 doller cert. I need to use up at Anglers Pro Shop. Gonna pare it up with an extra Okuma Avenger I have laying around begging to get some use. Thanks again Edited November 1, 2011 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
