| I am wondering if anyone has any reviews of the 9'6" rod Shimano introduced this year. I am considering pairing one with my Tranx as my big bucktail setup. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks |

| I have the 8'6" xh. I absolutely love the rod. I think tho that the xh is a bit light for what you want to do. I go with the 8'6" xxh. I think that be your best bet. I am thinking if getting 8'6" xxh myself. |

Liked the new shimanos so much I sold my big dawg my sling bladeand thinkin bout sellin my long ranger. I also have 8'6" mh. Handles all normal musky baits great. Have the 8' xh for all gliding bait. Shimano really got there stuff together with new rods. |

I thought that my okuma was a bit soft for an ''xh'' rod. I have an xh from you and it feels much better IMO. that said, I would agree with above. I would go xxh for blade rod. |
