I am curious to know if there is any difference in the action between the old XO and the new XO Graphene?

The new graphene version has faster recovery and a bit more deliverable power. The addition of graphene is positive and effective, but not an earth-mover. The underlying quality of the 13' 6" XO as the stand-out rod in the range is unchanged.

Considering buying this rod. Using Skagit setup in lower part of Gaula. Anyone with pros and cons?

I have the Xo graphene 12’8” paired with a Gaelforce EIH #8 and it’s a great combination. I’d consider myself an average caster but I can throw a long, delicate line with this setup.

The 13/6” with a Rio scandi short 10# and ten ft tips instead of the 15ft ones u get with the 10# set up is a spot on combination that goes like fook without any effort at all

How about Rio Skagit Max Gamechanger?

Couldn’t say for sure as never tried that line on it
