Shimano Rods

[Fishful Thinker]

Shimano makes a 7'10" telescopic baitcast rod in their Clarus line. Wondering if anyone has had anything to do with these rods or have ever seen them(I have been interested in checking them out for a couple years now) but know of no one that handles this model. Thinking they would make a great deadstick rod. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have used one for a few years for long line trolling with fireline. I cant say I have any complaints about it. The taper really changes toward the tip so it is plenty for pulling a board and the tip is soft enough to longline small cranks and snap weeds off. Great rod for the money.
