POWERFUL Well Constructed Inexpensive Spinning Rod by Shimano!

I was recently asked to do a review on a Shimano Spinning Reel & it's being sent to me. But i was thinking showcasing it on a Shimano Spinning Rod would be a nice one-two punch. I'd like to show, if possible a dependable & affordable rod & reel combo for fresh & saltwater applications. Catch is both products have to be available in most States either through local shops or online.

So on Oahu i decided to go to Hi Fish Gear in Ewa Beach to get a Scimitar. It is also online as well. This 8'6" model (SMS86MH2C) was only $50! This rod is available in longer lengths & varying strengths for my favorite style of fishing. Shoreline jigging. I needed an entry level rod for the Shimano reel coming in. I was pleasantly surprised to find a well built rod for way under a Benjamin.

Nice review.
