Hello Everyone, I am looking to get a new 10 weight rod with a fast action for some saltwater action. I like the ability to throw the heavy grains, to get down fast for some east coast Stripers and Albies. Usually in the 425 - 450 grain lines. My Current TFO 9 weight professional just seems too whippy at times!
But I was looking for a fast action taper rod, and was looking for suggestions? I know a lot of online reviews say the Sage Xi2 is an ideal rod for this, but I have casted other rods such as Albright’s XX and Sage Flight, that seem to be even stiffer.
Does anyone have any advice on a Extra Fast Action taper 10 weight in 4 piece? I am trying to keep it relatively inexpensive, and if I went with the Sage Xi2 it would have to be used or custom. Thanks in Advance, for any insight.
I have a Loomis Crosscurrent that is amazing and it felt faster and than the Sage when I tried them out. I fell in love with it right off the bat. I used in down in the Keys where it was blowing 25-30 and it performed very well.
The TFO ticr and ticrX models are pretty quick too and won’t break the bank. Their new Axiom looks pretty good too.
I would try to find a shop that carries a few different brands and try them out yourself
I checked out the TFO TiCRX and it definitely seemed nice for the money. I will probably continue to check it out. Because it definitely looked like a steal.
I will be fishing from beaches mostly hunting stripers in New England. so I am looking for somrthing that can punch a strong wind.
