Shimano Sellus Rods 2024
Diggy reply :
Anyone use these?...If not, I wonder how good these rods will perform for being in the budget rods category.
LuckyHandsINC. reply :
I haven't used them but based off of their other rods is say its safe to assume they will be very competitive in their price range.
Packard reply :
I've held one and they feel sensitive just putting the tip up to someones throat and having them talk to feel the vibration. They feel a bit better than the berkley lighting rods.

Funny story, I went into BPS to get a new rod and asked the guy what he recommended and he took me to the XPS Extreme rods and told me all the specs and then told me to put the tip up to his throat to test the sensitivity. I laughed at first thinking it was joke but it's as good of a test as you're going to get while in the store.

Had the same thing happen to me a few years back when I finally decided to upgrade from an Ugly Stick.
Jose Elias reply :
Has any one used them? I was thinking of buying one 7'2" MH but I haven't found any reviews on them.
Hi Salenity reply :
I got one Today 7'm Crankbait. I think/plan on it being a better weightless plastic rod . I'll get it wet Tomorrow and let you all know what I think.
Hi Salenity reply :
OK I got the Sellus wet Yesterday and I like it. IMHO It's the best rod I've seen in the $60 range by far! This thing is actually usable and not just a waste of money . I figured the Medium rating would be too light for a crancbait but it turns out it did fine (the small amount I threw a lipless crank). I could actually feel the "rattles" in the crank through the rod. I mainly threw Flukes & Paddle tales. I had a 50e Curado on it with older 8# test and the line broke on me a couple of times setting the hook... so I started using another rod but I can't wait to get new line and get it wet again.
This time with a 10-12# flouro untill I remember how bad I hate that S**T!
Jose Elias reply :
Thanks for the info.
tstone reply :
Going to bump this up to see if anyone else has experience with these rods.
j mast reply :
in the $60 range i like the ted spec rods by field and stream, i have a 6 10' Mh 
carrollton-fisher reply :
I picked one up this weekend for dropshotting. I'm also going to try it for shakey heads. Hope to get it out this week. For $49 it seemed like a good deal, we'll see.

Tec Spec's are great rods, really. They might not be the lightest rods in that price range, but in my experience with them they are as sensitive as most $100 rods.

+1 What do you think are light in this range
Teh reply :
The Academy ETHOS rod that sells for $59.99, I remember a board member weighed it and said it was 4.1 oz. It gets great reviews from what I've seen.
Teh reply :
I'm interested in the Convergence rod. It's the same price point as the Sellus, but looks to have the same reel seat as the Compre. And, I like the black color better.
Anyone tried one of these out yet?
carrollton-fisher reply :
Finally got a chance to use the sellus dropshot rod. Really impressed with it, more than i expected. The bite was way more detectable and way more sensitive than what i had been using. I think i may pick up another one for shakey head.

i have the 7'2" mh worm and jig rod. i really like it alot, its super sensitive and lightweight
ChiCityBasser reply :
I was in Cabelas yesterday and handled the rod but that was about it. I do have a Tec Spec 7' MH rig n jig spinning and it is very very sensitive as I used it for weightless worms this season.

+1 I've got it paired with and a Shimano Syncopate and it looks and feels great!!!
steelslinger86 reply :
At TEH, I have a 7' med/med convergance crankbait rod paired with a lew's speed spool, and I love the setup for cranks. As far as any of the other models go, I don't know. But, at that price, with a lifetime warranty, and the performance I have seen from it so far, I will be purchasing more.
tugsandpulls reply :
i have a sellus spinning rod i like it only problem i have is the reel seat unscrews a lot but i like the way it fishes and feels i can put some teflon tape on the seat but too lazy lol
LgMouthGambler reply :
Ive got 2 of these things, both Worm and Jig. One has my Curado 200E7 on it with 65# braid, the other has my Chronarch 200E7 with 20# Yozuri on it. When I get my Chronarch 50E, I will put that to a Sellus as well. Im satisfied with the sensitivity and handling of this rod, and I used to use the Lightning Shocks, which are now backups(but still a great rod).
DanVerona89 reply :
Just bought the 7'2" Worm and Jig Sellus. I used it the day I bought it and caught a couple nice ones on it. I love the feel of the rod, I put my Abu Garcia Cardinal 404i on it, I like that reel too I think their a good match. I didn't see any other rods in the store I would have rather bought. This one had the best feel and I liked the reel seat and guides. A lot of rods have these guides on them that look like crap IMO. There were rods for 100$+ in the store and I chose the Sellus over them happily. Can't wait to use this rod again, very light and sensitive and casts really well.
I would buy more if I had the money or need for them. I am bugging all my friends to grab one though haha
Wurming67 reply :
I love the Sellus but my one major complaint it doesn't seat well with my bass pro shops pro qualifier baitcasting reel:(

One thing about Shimano’s “lowerend” Rods is that they give a lot of bang for the buck. I know you won’t regret it. My use of the quotes indicates they’re low end in price not quality and value.
NYWayfarer reply :
I have one of these, the dropshot model, and other than a paint chip or 2 I have no complaints. It performs way better than the $50 I paid for it should.
