- Fuji® aluminum oxide guides
- Durable clear-coat finish
- Ultra-premium-grade cork grips
- PowerHump® handle
- Full-contact, Soft Touch reel seat
- Available in travel rod model
Here's what you get: We start out with an immensely powerful yet feather-light 60-million-modulus Powerwall IM9 graphite blank, then wrap the butt section with a new diamond weave carbon fiber to enhance lifting power. We top the blank with virtually frictionless, mirror-polished Fuji aluminum oxide guides, and we finish the blank with the most durable clear-coat available. The grips are turned from ultra-premium-grade cork, with our exclusive PowerHump handle to aid in balance and enhance fish-turning power. The full-contact, Soft Touch reel seat puts your fingers directly on the blank so you can feel even the softest bite. The result is a fishing rod that is farthest removed from the ordinary, that is anything but the usual suspect, and that far exceeds what you expect from a rod at this price point. By definition, these rods truly are extreme!
PowerHump Handles:
Our specially contoured, premium cork handle design gives you enhanced leverage and an increased sense of confidence during the battle!
Fuji Aluminum Oxide Guides:
Polished to a mirror-like, friction-free finish. Extremely durable; precisely spaced for perfect line flow.
Full Contact Soft Touch Reel Seat:
Lightweight, rock-solid reel seat locks your reel in place, and the blank-thru construction puts your fingers in direct contact with the blank for the utmost vibration transmission.

Rated 5 out of 5 by maxxdog Solid great feeling rod
I now have about 12 XPS Extreme rods. I feel they are as good of a rod as a man can own. I know there are more expensive rods that are slightly lighter in weight but I personally like the weight and solid feel of the XPS Extreme Rods. They are very durable and last for years. I am a little concerned about the lure keeper being moved to the side of the rods. I now find the line ocassionally caught on the keeper which never happened when it was on the top. I wish they where left on top but this does not keep me from loving the rod itself.

Rated 4 out of 5 by chickentoe nice rods
Good rods, so far, haven't used them yet but they are light feel real stable with strong spine. Like the cork handles wish they had micro guides. Other wise top rate rods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JRay11011 Excellent response
This is my third BPS rod and one of about 15 that I own. This particular rod has become my favorite. I paired it with my Shimano Curado for my primary baitcaster and I absolutely love the feel. Easy to cast, the medium-heavy weight is perfect for my preferred style of casting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NebraskaBasser 6'6" M and 6'6" MH
The MH makes an excellent rod for plastic worm and bass jig fishing. Very sensitive, and a good looking rod. Can handle braid easily. Would recommend the MH for worm and jig fishing, and go with the 7' model. Great rods that can handle big bass. Love the "humpgrip" handle. The M action rods are great all-around rods, and work well for lighter plastics and spinnerbaits.

I don't do flipping so I thought the 6'10 MH XF setup would be perfect for a pitching rod. Any thoughts?Answers
A:
I prefer a 7 foot MH with a fast tip but lots of my friends use 6'6" and 6'10" rods for pitching. Use a high quality reel that is matched in weight and balance for best results.

pitching requires a longer rod than flipping

This rod make a great pitching rod as well as a Carolina rig rod, out of the 12 rods in my rod box I have 2 of these and they see more use and all the rest of themDetails:
I two hand cast and find the split handle a real proublem.I love the the extreme rod and was disappointed to learn you can no longer get it with a full handle.Answers
A:
a full handle rod has less sensative feel, this rod is desinged for that feature, if you want a full handle go buy a tourney special rod i too cast with both hands but i bought the 7-4 ft. rod with the longer handle. good luck and great fishing bud.Details:

what is the max weight it can it hold when it bends before it breaksAnswers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I can guarantee that it can handle heavier bass than you can catch even if it's a world record.A:
it can handle the biggest fish you can catch.Details:
and does this include fast action for the tip?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
yes it does, I got the 7'10 for flippin and pitchinA:
That is what is meant by fast, the taper of the rod. If you get someone to hold the rod handle, then you grasp the very top eyelet and gently bend the rod , like you had a fish on, you can see where the rod starts loading up, where the spine is. Usually on a fast tip it will start around the second to third eyelet. You want a rod that bends some, but not a lot. Too much means a soft hookset, not enough can mean a broken line.Answers
A:
I have several that I use specifically for that purpose. I love these rods. I paired mine with the extreme reels and it is a deadly combination. I have used them for finesse worm fishing, bottom bouncing for walleye and fish head spins with flukes. Excellent rods. By the way, havent been to Keystone Heights in years , but Smith lake used to have some nice bass in it.

A:
IF the rod is the ETR70MS It should be good for almost any crankbait you want to throw. It's rated for 1/8oz to 1/2 oz SO I guess I'd throw up to 5/8 oz on that stick. The ETR70MSH is rated for 5/8 oz this is the Medium heavy rod.Details:
