Steve "The new rod is just great. It handles like a one piece rod. It gives the impression of being extremely light but also handles the wind......I have released more fish this season than I have done in years.... The best rod I have fished with." Cheers Tommy	"With a CCS rating comparable to the worlds finest, the XLS from Composite Developments is a must for any serious casting enthusiast. Whether throwing for distance or demonstrating slack line technique, the responsiveness of the rod tip can make or break ones performance. With my XLS 4pc 9'0 #5 in my hand I know I have the right tool for the job, and can go about instructing in a relaxed confident mindset" Chris Dore Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor Queenstown, NZ
"The XLS #6 is by far the best rod I have used and a real testament to the New Zealand designers and manufacturers" (Blair Watson, Trout NZ)
"The XLS has proved very popular with my clients.....It has plenty of power for stormy days and is a roll casting beast, great for tight bank." William Kemp Tongariro Fly Fishing Ltd	"My guide was pleasantly suprised to find whilst the XLS was crisp it still had a soft enough tip to give the feel he wanted especially for shorter casts. He did land a seven pound fish by the way". Kevin Payne Back Country Trout
XLS - "This rod has given me the confidence to present both small dries and cast weighted tungsten nymphs with ease. I have also purchased the XLS in a 10ft 6wt and it is a fantastic rod with top end casting performance and handles the lunkers". Rob Vaz	"If you are thinking of a new fly rod or maybe upgrading, I would definatley recommend CD's XLS. It has plenty of backbone for rolling heavy tungsten beads pr punching a dry into the dreaded norwester. Finally I have found my perfect rod". Greg Dougherty Alpine Fishing Guide
As a guide I cater for clients of all fishing and casting abilities". "The XLS rod series are the only rods that I've found that actually improve the cast of any angler whether amateur or advanced. Add to this their durability and warranty service make them a great work horse for any guide." Gerald Telford (NZ Fishing Guide)	"To my mind no other fly-fishing sorts out the good rods from the duds quicker than winter fishing on the the Tongariro. I really enjoy fishing this river with CD XLS #8. It is a superb casting tool for both overhead casting and for the new Tongariro Roll Cast." Philip Smith (Australian Fishing Fanatic)

You'll be itching to get out on the river and try your new rod too.

Prepare yourself to be impressed! Your first casts will send tight loops zipping across the water, your fly landing oh so sweetly.........Extra distance with less effort, a lighter stronger rod, a true fast action rod.......lovely
