hotsky Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sorry for the noob question , but Im looking for some into on a Shimano compre baitcaster rod. model is CO-76XH. I know it 7.5 feet...extra heavy? whats the ideal use? too thin for musky I think, too short for salmon... and is this something of any value or is it a walmart special cheapo rod?

Chuck Enwinde Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Bass in or near cover would probably be it's primary use. Might work for pike or muskie depending on the action. Not a Walmart cheapy - probably in the $100 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick14 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Super old rod, maybe one of the first compre’s. as chuck said pitching flipping worming in cover. It looks like a spinning rod handle.... its value now isn’t very much, unless it’s new or like new with the tags for a collector. Used condition under $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'd have to echo what others have said. I have owned two compres and this rod is older than either of them. Definitely a model in their bass lineup put would handle pike and smaller muskies fine. Length and lure rating would be ideal for flipping/pitching, possibly punching and for sure frogging depending on the taper. These rods aren't something you will find at Walmart or most Canadian tires but they are not cheap. I think their current price is in the $120-$150 range. The ones I had were nice for their time for sure. I sold them a few season after getting them for $50-$80 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 You could use that as a heavy cover bass rod or a jerkbait rod for muskie/pike without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've owned a few compres over the years. Still use a jig and worm in medium. That's an older model for sure, later models were black/dark green. in addition to use as others said, I'd believe that would be a good stick for tossing spinner baits.
