Okuma X rods are Amazing thread talk

[THE_Vue's]

Have you guys felt these in hands yet? 

These blanks are amazingly light.  I'm a big Loomis guy and I gotta say they are lighter than my NRXs.  Can't wait to here from your guys experiences.

I had a Psycho Stick that I liked before I sold it. Never tried the X-Series but they look like sweet rods

[GetFishorDieTryin]

Never been able to get 1 in my hands as no one has a full Okuma FW line around here, but I've heard they're a real sleeper.  They went on sale last winter  @180$, when I was in the hospital.  Had my diagnosis been better I would have bought 1, but at the time I didn't know if I would recover completely or not.  Was hoping to see the same sale on them this year, but no luck, so I wound up with an M1, which feels nice.

Would like to here about them as well. I have a couple Helios rods that are a few ticks lighter than the X listed weights.

These rods are amazing. Super light, quality components, very sensitive. And to top it all off they look amazing. I really hope they're doing well for them.

 

I have the 7'3 MH which weighs in at 4.05 oz and the 7'6 heavy, which comes in at 4.37 oz. For comparison, the 7'2 MH Expride B weighs 4.28 oz.

Ive heard they good.  Some dude TackleJunky on youtube swears by em 

 

But my Powells are 3.3 oz

Just got my hands on the X-Series Spinning Rod, and wow—this thing is next level! 🎣💨 Super light, ultra-sensitive, and built with top-tier components—plus, it just looks amazing! If you haven’t checked these out yet, you’re missing out. Hope they’re crushing it with this lineup because these blanks are hot!

Which Powells? I weighed both of my newer model Endurance rods and the online weights were about 1oz less than the actual scale weight. 

example: 765 online said 3.7 my scale says 4.7 ...similar outcome with my 683

Anyone able to compare these to the Dobyn’s champion extreme hp?

I definitely want 1  or 2,or 3.

Same had old 705CB weighed in 4.7oz vs what they stated 3.3oz. False Advertising for sure!

They are insanely light. I couldn’t believe it when I picked mine up for the first time. The sensitivity is excellent and they look great. Really just a great all around package.

How does the sensitivity compare to other rods? What would you compare it to?

It is right on the same level with the Kistler Helium.
