Has anyone used these rods with braid? If so, do the guides on these rods stand up to them?

I've only ever used braid on the cumara. 50lb stren superbraid. i fish alot with this stick and set hard and i've never had a guide issue. the guides have no wear but if they do it's $10 for a warrentyA:
im not a fan of braid, but i have a FUJI guided shimano convergence 7'0, and i used some braided with no issues. should be ok. if the rod is well cared for, there should be no issues.Details:
i am looking to pair a core 50mg with a high end rod for jig and worm fishing, witch do you think would be more sensitive the Cumara or the ledgen tournament bass rod by st.croix?Answers
A:
Cumara all the way!!!
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Not bragging here just saying...the price tag on a rod means nothing to me. Cumara is the best rod I have ever picked up."Custom built tournament rods" blah blah blah they are all junk compared to Cumara in my book.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Absolutely the Cumara by a long shot. Dont get me wrong, St. Croix is an excellent rod, I own a couple myself, but for the money you will spend, I would go with a cumara hands down. Its lighter which in turn will make it more sensative. I have my Cumara paired with a Chronarch 50mg(basically the core 50mg) and you will be sooooo pleased! But its up to your personal preferances. If you can, go to a BPS, put the reel on both and see which feels better in your hands.A:
I love the feel of the Cumara, I havent actually fished with the st.croix. My money went to Shimano, and I have absolutely no regrets!Answers

A:
Not that they are terrible but I chose Cumara over Zillion on sensitivity alone.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
The Cumara gets my vote simply because it offers greater sensitivity. The Zillion offers much better ergonomics. My suggestion would be to purchase both!!Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I have used both, in fact I have both. If there was a dollar per sensitivity scale, then the Carrot Stix would be more sensitive. However, overall, the Cumaras are more sensitive, by a noticeable amount.A:
I have not used a carrot stick. But, the owner/manager of the private bass lake I fish in AL has fished both. According to his opinion there is nothing of equal quality to a shimano cumara and core rod & reel combo...period. And, this guy was in the sporting goods business prior to openning his private bass lake fishing operation. So he has a comprehensive knowledge of other products in the market. For inshore fishing I like a counter weighted bass pro rod that has the screw in counter weights. I can work a popping cork better with the extra weight on the handle butt. Redfish and trout fishing does not have much of a finese element and the counter weight does tire the arm but will abosolutely save your wraist.For bass however, I don't think you could do much better than shimano's cumara rods & core reels.

A few other bass anglers told me that they make these sizes but don't have them printed , I talked to a tournament pro who had a 6'10" Cumara M XF. Anybody know about these ?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Cumara reaction comes in a 6'9"
Top 500 Contributor
A:
According to Shimano, they do not make a 6'9'" or 6'10". They only make the 6'8" and the 7'2". My suggestion would be to go to a store and get all of the 6'8" rods and find the longest ones. Rod lengths is not an exact science and you can pick up 10 of the same rods and they will be anywhere from 6'7.5" to 6'9". My 7'2" Cumaras are only about an inch longer than my 7' Loomis rods. I think most facturers work in millimeters then convert them to the nearest inches for the American market.Details:
The 68M XFast says line size of 8 - 14 and lure weight of 1/4 to 1/2 while the 68M Fast says 6 - 12 but the lure weight stays the same. I own 2 - 68M XFast and was looking for something "softer" so I could through my 1/4" items a bit farther. I thought Fast etc referred to how "quick" the rod "softened" towards the tip end - XFast with that concept would have the flex point farthe back resulting in a bit of a "whippier" TIP hence more loading - recoil - and distance - but in this case only the line size changes - I am confused - Denny - ArizonaAnswers

A:
Forget about everything except for the tip. The way I see it in my mind is x-fast is the stiffest tip with fast being softer med. fast even softer.That is the best way I can explain it without getting technical. I know you would understand but I'm trying to keep it simple for beginners.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
fast or xfast is where the rod will load or flex during fighting a fish. if you're looking for a "whip" you'll have to go to a medium light or light ACTION rod. the action determines the overall rigidity of the rod. if casting distance is your main concern, just get a longer rod. you'd be surprised how much farther you can cast a 7'6" rod compared to a 6'8" one.1 of 1
