...I broke a 6-10lb XMG, and was pretty displeased with the handle on the XMG anyway, so I don't want another one of those...
I don't have much experience with Fetha myself, but do like their rods..I personally have never broke a Loomis or Lamiglas on any fish yet...
The XMG's have one purpose...Side drifting with the 6-10 model out of a boat,( The one you broke I believe ) they load up great on a bite....Never off the bank. You can't go wrong with Loomis ( Although, my high end rods tend to be Lami's )
Let me know how you feel about the Fetha if you go that route..
Cheers!
