- it didn't feel as noodly as the Boron, but it also
didn't feel as stiff as the XP.

How familiar are you with Boron rods? I had a Boron/Graphite rod built by
Ron Kusse that broke in half several years ago. That was the end of that.
Apparently, the Boron/Graphite rods of the 80s would become very brittle
with age and splinter. I had hung my fly on a blade of grass and did a
slight twitch to pull it off when my rod just exploded.

Are they using a different formula for the Boron these dayz. I love my
Kusse rod. It was a noodle. I like very slow action rods, but you don't
see many any more.
