Rated 5 out of 5Â by JmFaith55 Another great product from shimano
Got the new crucial rod last Friday 7' 2" medium/heavy fast action for worms and jigs to pair with my stradic ci4. The pair together is awesome. The rod has incredible control from the accuracy of your casts to the ease of controlling your bait. The rod is super super light and crazy sensitive. I had talked to several people before deciding what I was gonna get and everything that I was told was completely accurate. If your looking to up your fishing game and you want a great rod to help with your lure control and weight of your setup this is the rod you should try. It's up there with the more expensive rods but worth every penny. I'm a die hard shimano fan and they have delivered once again. My crucial rod with the stradic ci4 reel is an awesome set up and I would recommended them both to all the serious fisherman out there.

This was my first rod to break in 25 years of fishing. Used it 1 time and the tip broke off on a piece of grass. Must have been a bad batch....

Recently bought the 7-2 med x-fast for drop shotting and it performs awesome! The 6-8 medium / fast is ideal for skipping baits up under docks!
