I also use a TXL. I have the 2710 This year I have landed many fish on the little stick I have fished it in some lakes contianing big rainbows. I caught my biggest lake fish of the year on it, roughly 7lbs. I feel I have had an easier time landing big fish as the rod really does work for you.
And now I have contributed to the poorest sale thread ever, sorry Fishpro.
