Used to fish the Sensilite rods- very fast tips and lots of backbone but they are hard to find anymore. Compres have almost the same action- 6'6" MH rods. I also like spinning for plastics- I have better feel in my right hand than in my left from years of spinning only use. I can use a Curado if I am fishing deep water but prefer spinning. I have found that the 6'6" MH Compres have excellent feel and are very well made. The V-rods that Shimano makes are the cat's rear end, but I can't afford $130 for a rod. ( I'm basically cheap. LOL)
My all time favorite rod was the Fightin' Rods that Shimano used to make. The 6' 6" MH one piece rod was AWESOME- you could feel every tap but still beat an elephant to death with it. Those rods are impossible to find now, and when you do see one, they cost a fortune. I bid on one a few years ago and stopped at $125. It sold for over $150 and they only cost $79 new. Last time I saw them in a store was in 1994 at Big Bear up in Lebanon, and they were leftovers from the previous season. Wish I had bought them all back then, but $80 was a week's rent and I couldn't spare it. Looking back, I wish I would have gotten a few of them.
