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!

I have now tried 3 of these Crucial rods for walleye fishing and I think they are simply garbage. They were all paired with the Stradic reels and love the smoothness of the reels. Bought these rods based on name and I will not buy another. I have bought cheaper rods with better feel, balance, and sensitivity for half the cost. Shimano fans may like them but I won't use them again.
