A 9ft XLS with an AFTM rating of between 5 and 7 is a good choice for most New Zealand conditions.

The 8 or 9s are suitable for larger rivers where heavily weighted flies are required or when fishing around river mouths for large sea run fish.

"The rod performed extremely well and in our opinion the rod is one of the nicest we have ever used".
Graham Dean Fly Fishing

"If you are thinking of a new fly rod or maybe upgrading, I would definitley recommend the XLS. It has plenty of backbone for rolling heavy tungsten beads or punching a dry into the dreaded norwester. Finally I have found my perfect rod. A top quality Kiwi made rod that I am proud to recommend"
Greg Dougherty, Alpine Fishing Guide

"The XLS #6 is by far the best rod I have used and a real testament to the New Zealand designers and manufacturers"
