Cabalas XMLti

bassinbob · 07-19-09, 03:37 PM

Cabalas has a sale on these rods and I was looking for a deep crank rod. Has anybody used these rods? The model XMLtic7odc is on sale for $109.
My daughter is getting married next month so the price seems right. Any info would be helpful.

I havn't used the XMLti rod but I recently bought the regular XML rod. Two in fact, and I'm thrilled with both of them.

I'm thrilled with my XML as well. Really makes my Exceler feel like a club

Never used them but I've got an XLM too! It's the best rod I've ever had, and the best I've ever handled... next to a cumara!

I would give it a try, if the XML is that bad as* I'm sure the XMLt would be even better!

Give it a try

I bought the "drop shot" 6'9" XMLti to use for wacky rigs. I really like it a lot, I'm using 20# yellow braid with a 10# fluoro leader and you can feel everything. The only downfall to this rod is the position of the hook keeper, it is right where I usually put my index finger on the blank. I have changed my grip since you have an open blank under the reel but I might still cut it off and file it down.
