*I was unclear. Will throwing 1.5-3oz tubes be fine on a xxh rod?
Fine? NO! You want the XH for that. But then you go on to say you want to throw monster dussa's and pounders.. TI XXH is a great rod for that...get both you wont regret it. |

That post is deceiving; the internal weights are 1-3oz but plus the rubber to add 3-5oz depending on length. So really its about 4-8oz tubes. |

| Personally, I don't throw anything under 9 oz on my XXH's ... but to each their own.. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | I was attempting to get a rod versatile enough to throw pounders and tubes but I've realized I was asking a little too much. Think I'm gonna go with either an Okuma EVx XXH 8'6" 4-16oz, or a TI 9' 3-12oz. Telescopic for both. |

I haven't used the Okuma, but I'll give another vote for the TI XH you mentioned. I think you'll like it for the size tubes you mentioned earlier, which is what you intend to use the rod for the most. I have used mine for throwing Pounders, but the key is to do so in moderation. As I previously stated, I purchased an XXH for them once I decided I wanted to use them in greater frequency. If you want to be able to throw a Pounder occasionally the XH will work. It really depends on how often you want to throw a Pounder. For the tube aspect of your needs/wants the XH has performed well for me. |

Thanks for the input! That's the response I was looking for; I want to throw a pounder every now and then but primarily throw tubes, mag dawgs, and dussas. Thanks for the response and input on the TI XH. Just decided that I'm gonna go with that rod! Probably 9' |
