Location: Eastern Ontario | Where does it end that's almost double the length of the five and a half foot Fenwick rod I started with many decades ago. I can't imagine trying to net your own fish. |

Location: Waukee, IA | The 9.5 foot XH is my favorite rod. The thing is an absolute cannon that I use as my all purpose go-to. I will buy another when I can justify it (isn't big rubber season upon us?) |

Problem with any shipping tube over 108" is that the cost for UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. A 9' rod that cost $24 to ship with FedEx goes to $80 shipping once it goes over 108" in length. They really ding you for shipping those long tubes... |

Location: Wisconsin | I have been fishing with the XH and XXH 10'6" rods all year. All i have to say is wow. I have not had any problems netting a fish when Im by myself. There is a learning curve with the use of the rod. You can start your figure 8 sooner and run it deeper. Which helps with not spooking the fish with your boat. The extra lengh makes it a dream to cast and setting the hook involves easy effert. And wont last long. Cant wait to sell them at the shows next year.

No split grips this year. If the rods sell well we will add a split grip option. Just have too many rods right now  They take up a TON of room in my warehouses and they are hard to move around. Got long forks now which helps!!
As for the actions, yes, they are very close. We spent about 18 months on these new roes to get them right. At first they were either way to stiff or the tips had way too much flex. Took a while to dial them in but they are great now!!
Thanks,
James

| The 10'6" xxh is my go to big bucktail rod. I've had mine for a few months now and can't put it down when it's time to throw blades. It handles anything from 8's up to 13's with no problem. Figure 8's are awesome! Netting fish solo is a little tricky the first few times, but it's better than not netting one! |

I had a 9 ft XH and now have a 9 1/2 ft XH. The 9 1/2 foot feels a little stiffer due to being slightly faster action. |

LOL it is funny but I can almost touch a 20ft ceiling with the 106 rod. I will test this during the next lighting storm

| So many guys saying xxh for double tens that I am doubting my plan of buying an XH.
I am looking at selling my slingblade and getting a10'6" to replace it.
How does the xh 10'6" compare to the slingblade??? |
|
| |
|
| its 2' longer so i doubt it compares at all really |

| I realize it's longer but is it similar in stiffness/action. |

The new rods are very similar in action. They all do tend to have just a little more flex at the tip end but we had to do this so the rods will load up in an even way over the total length of the rod. The longer the rod the hard er it is to perfect unless you just want to make a 10'6" broom stick and that is easy Took a while to get these dialed in but it was worth it!!

Location: Hayward, WI | So with a little more flex at the tip, is the XXH the standard choice for double 10's over the XH?
In the 9 footers I have XH and XXH. I find both work well for bucktails, but if the XH had any more flex in the tip might be just a little on the light side for doing wide 8's all day. |

| James,
Any plans for a 10' or 10'6" 2 piece rod? Even with telescoping the new ones would be tough to manage in my small boat. A 2 piece would be an easy sell for at least one of me.... |

Location: Land of the Musky | The XH is still a lot better for D10s for sure.
As for 2pc rods, it would be some time before I made the long rods into a 2pc configuration. Just too many rods already now that I am moving into bass, walleye, crappie and inshore rods. I do see a new longer pole barn in my future though |

I have been looking at this reel seat. Seems its a YES or NO for customers. About 20% of the people I have asked like them and the rest don't. Once these are out a little longer and if I see a trend with a specific use rod that uses the palm reel seat I may make a special edition rod with it. |
