After fishing a couple of buddies WbIIx 6 wt rods out of my drift boat and float tube, I have decided to take the expensive plunge into boron rods. I like everything about the bIIx except the price including the light weight, forgiving action with oustanding performance. That being said, I ran accross an article about the Wrght & McGill Boron 5Xe and am interested in comments from anyone familiar with these rods. From a price standpoint, its a no brainer (almost half) but I have never fished the rods. I know the simple answer is to go to a shop and cast one, but given my current location it would cost about the difference to go test the rod in travel expenses, so I would likely as not just stick with the one I know. Any help would be appriciated.
regards,
Two
