I HOPE I like it.........I bought a Cumara tonight....

[QUOTE=ElectricSLT;398580]Looking forward to your post about those rods - I'm thinking about a new C-Rig pole for this year - I've held the Cumara in my hand at BPS - just wondering?


Anyone got any comments about the new BPS Carbonlite rods?[/QUOTE]


They (the CarbonLite) seem to be priced fairly competitively. I'm going to Clarksville on Sunday (weather permitting). I would like to take a look at one, even though I will never purchase one. I'll let you know what I think.

As far as the Cumara C-Rig Rod, I use it for football jigs as well when dragging. Sensitivity is unlike any rod I have ever used. Well worth the investment in my opinion. Great product with a great warranty.

[QUOTE=00SKEETER;398555]If that's so than you better go back to BPS and buy the IMX because it was priced wrong. Wasn't your Cumara about 229? A similar IMX is $270.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't comparing apples to apples with the IMX rod........the Mossyback and the Bronzeback were both cheaper........and the Cumara 7'2 was 239.....I think.

I spent 253.00 total..........only the rod and a diet coke.

$229 YIKES. Better not fish with me. I am the kind of guy that is just one(mis) step from turning it into a 5 footer. Hope you like it.

I have been watching for a deal on a Cumara. I just bought a couple of Shimano Crucial Rods that I look forward to using this summer; definitely an upgrade for me. I may treat myself to a Cumara next year unless I get really lucky and invest in a G.Loomis. I heard Cumara's are great; all the reviews are positive. I think you will like it.

Cumara(7-2 MED.HEV.FAST) is the best rod for deep fishing that I have used, even the Mossybacks.I have (3) of them for Rig,Football Jigs,Big Worms.Buy one for these three applications and you will like it.You will be like :eek:

Yea, but making that 5 footer doesn't COST you a penny.....you take it back and they give you a new one............FOR LIFE.

THAT is why I buy good equipment. I broke a G. Loomis in Canada......Packed out both broken parts, and got a new on in a week from the factory.

Yea, you pay a SERIOUS amount up front, but it is worth the warranty.

On the flip side, not all warranties are the same. My AllStars which also carry a lifetime warranty are TERRIBLE. I've never been able to get one replaced. In one case, I sent back a 6'10" spinnerbait II rod, and instead of sending a new rod, the replaced the tip, even though it was 8 inches SHORT. That is hardly the warranty I wanted..........and that rod was a 120.00 rod.

Thats horrible service on that allstar. The bad thing about the ccost of the cumaras is your going to be buying more of them because theyre awsome. My cumara and reel I have on it cost $100 more than the boat I fish from :)

Got a 7'2" mh for Christmas. Used it for the first time last saturday on Dale Hollow. Had three bites all day. It sure felt good when that 3-9 smallmouth and the 3-1 large mouth hit that jig.

$239 for one fishing rod? Let me show you my shocked face:eek:

Well, congrats on acquiring what ya wanted.

Can you tell me where you work......and do they need help?:)

Male prostitute.........and business SURE has been GOOD :) :) .

OK, OK..........I work in Technology for a large downtown louisville company.

I also have a S - Corp that I do personal computer business with. The money I make there pretty much pays for ALL my fun. Anyone who is looking for Computer Stuff in the Lou area, I'm BETTER than the GEEK Squad in service, reliability AND PRICE :) :), but I'm NOT CHEAP.


One other thing.........I have not been out fishing, or have not spent ANY money for 6 weeks while I've saved to buy it. I'm going to buy 2 more before march, but I need to still save some more smack.


CASH for EVERYTHING.

Hey I think we can all agree that fishing is not the cheapest hobby going - rods, reels (got to have those combos for specific functions), crankbaits (in multiple colors, sizes, and styles), spinnerbaits (multiple styles, colors, sizes), lets not even go into worms/lizards/grubs/flukes issue, boats, PFD's, rain gear, tow vehicle, electronics (man what about side imaging starts at $2k!!!), trolling motors, batteries, on board charging sys, then license, permits, insurance . . .

Then if you get your wife interested in fishing you basically have to double the equipment - cause she wants to fish the same way you are . . .

Anyway on another site I visit one poster signs off with "Hobby or mental illness - some of us have crossed the line!" I think MOST OF US here have crossed the line!

Oh I forgot to mention line (various types, sizes, colors), hooks (gotta have hooks!), weights (what about those tungston), what about swimbaits . . .
