Bass pro xps extsream

Happy new year to all.

I'm a long time lurker who has learned a lot from this newsgroup over the
years. I've been bass fishing for nearly 50 years and I'm still learning. I
had the pleasure of hooking up with Warren this past summer and got a few
pointers while I watched him catch a 1/2 dozen bass in about 40 minutes to
my 0.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Bass Pro extream XPS spinning rods. I
prefer Shimano & St Croix.
The only BP rod I've ever had is the bionic blade and it seemed a middle of
the road rod.

Thought I'd ask before I buy.

Thanks
