Xcaliber Marine rods - anyone ever use these?

[Nasty Wendy]

OK I went fishing this past weekend.  We did alright.


The Xcaliber Marine rod worked great.  I don't know how explain its performance trolling other than saying it performed exactly as expected.  I did some deep dropping with it as well using an electric reel.  For a 80-130 sized rod it picked up every bite.  There was never a question of "Was that or wasn't that a bite" it showed definite traits of a fish bite with the tip movement.  That surprised me.  I was expecting to have to watch the rod tip like a freaking hawk to pick up the bite due to the size of the rod.  I'll be mounting my new Fin-Nor Santiago 30W on a 60-100 Xcaliber Marine rod as well.  I give them two thumbs up.
