X2s Saltwater Rods: Fly fishing in saltwater is a game of limitless challenges. Wind, long casts, and powerful fish come to mind. But here’s another side of the story-Think of those slick calm days, or times when visibility is low and fish reveal themselves twenty feet off your rod tip. The new X2s saltwater rods are almost limitless in meeting these challenges. They load and cast with a short amount of line helping you make accurate and quiet presentations. They also excel at the longest shots when the sun is high and you can see fish coming (and they can see you) the proverbial mile away.
