Wanted to see how it held up if you’re still using yours for the ghost. Thanks. Still tossing it. Handles like a dream. You have to lob it and its definitely a dance, but I love how the action aids the glide on the ghost. MilesFoxworthy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX941 Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 I was surprised when I talked to Eric at Leviathan and he recommended throwing the mothership on the XH vs the XXH due to the XXH being to fast. He did point out that lob casting is the key but it still seems like that bait would overload that XH rod. AsaProch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least till I have the scratch to get an XXH. Lol. AsaProch and LureFlyingAcrossThePond 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LClements Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I max out all of my leviathans at the top of the ratings so a ghost shouldn’t be a problem for the XH. I throw a TK on the omega finesse (max at 2 oz) and a K9 on the MH omega (max at 4 oz). And I never feel that I’m gonna have issues with power. as long as you don’t whip cast you could push it even further by about 1/2 oz or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freelancer27 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Does anybody have the rod weight on the XXH? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Is the XXH 6-16 Oz overkill for a 6oz bait? I see some comments saying that the rod rating is true. I have a dobyns champion 807 rated 2-8 Oz and it flexes a lot for a 6 Oz bait and I also use the Dobyns Champion 867 rated 6-16 Oz and it launches a 6 Oz bait perfectly. I need a smaller rod for kayak fishing. So I'm thinking about the XXH 8". Thanks yall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Or should I just get a XH 2-8 Oz? I'm planning to full send a 6 Oz bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
