I have no experience with the Albright and do not like the TiCrX but
have only fly show cast it.

The BIIx and the Xi2 are fabulous rods with the BIIx being a little
more foregiving and the Xi2 being crisper. If you are going to use
heavy shooting heads or fast sink tip lines I would go with the Xi2
over the BIIx but IMO, that's the only advantage it has.

Having said all that, three primary sal****er guys I know who were
partial to the Xi2 and BIIx's sold them once they tried the Cross
Current.

Really ? That's interesting. G Loomis makes the Cross Current tapers
available in 3 piece GL3 and 4 piece GLX graphite with the GLX around
the same price as the other top ends. The GL3, on the other hand, is
about half that, around $360 from Uncle Wally if I remember right.
Hmmmmmmm.
