Just got my new rod in the mail yesterday
I can not believe what a cannon these rods
are.I haven't picked up a 10wt.line yet So I put my 8wt.full sink on took it out on the lawn and proceeded to throw the whole line without even trying.I have never been one to go for the high end rods and if I hadn't won this rod probably would never of tried the Xi2 series of rods.anyway if you're looking at a new salt rod give the Xi2 a try.
