I bought a new 890-4 XP discounted at 40% due to it being discontinued and took it with me to fish the shallow flats and back bays in Corpus Christi a few weeks ago.

The first hookup was with a 4ft long cow ray that tested it but it held up extremely well. I also caught a couple of slot redfish which were no match for the XP. I say the XP is a great shallow water rod and at the discounted prices, a heck of a bang for the buck!
