swim16 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Cheaper than a LDC travel rod thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzed bait Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 i have the older citrix model travel rod in the XH, same 2-8oz specs. Pretty good rod, definitely gets the job done and can just walk right on and off the plane with no hassles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbass Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have the express in-shore in spinning and baitcasting and they get the job done for me with spotted bass in SD and peacock bass in Hawaii. May have to get that XH. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepinItReelFishing Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I covet my Citrix travel 4 piece, 1-4oz rod. It is my EVERYTHING when I backpack to deep woods ponds and know that I am the ONLY person able to present a big bait in such a location. I wrote to Okuma for the two years that they had them discontinued. I remember Mike Bennet telling me the reason was, as expected lack of sales/interest. I am ECSTATIC that they are releasing these! Going to be one of my few zero-hesitation purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse74 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I just got the 7'11" 1-4oz last week from TW. Its a nice setup and travel case. The joints that sleeve together are about 4" and give a solid feel when connected. Its more of a Fast Taper than advertised as a MF. It's a little stiff, but i think its going to be cool for pond hoping while out on road trips. The Handle length is pretty long as well, which i like. Havent got to throw anything with it yet, but i will post more about it after i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevsad0313 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ive had the XH for about a month now. No complaints at all. Ive thrown everything from 2oz soft baits to 250's. Performs great! I prefer it mostly for big soft baits since it has so much back bone but you can throw glides just fine on it. For the price i dont think you can beat it. Going to buy the heavy soon so my travel set up will be a little more flexible. Amistoad and Jesse74 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amistoad Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I hit the bullet and just ordered the xh as a Christmas present for myself. Looking forward to using it on business trips. I usually bring my fly rod and chase trout and pike on those trips, but it will be nice to have flexibility. I really need to stop browsing SU! It always winds up costing me a chunk of change! Edited December 10, 2018 by Amistoad danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2 fish Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I just bought the heavy 1-4 oz I hope I didn't make a mistake I'm thinking I should have went with the xh I'm going to be throwing bait's up to 3.5 oz.

Randykast Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 This will be my travel rod(s) going forward. Always been a huge fan of okuma guide select/ SBX rods before switching to LDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
