I just picked up a 6' vertical jigging spinning rod (split grip) for $30 at the store. Can hardly wait to try it out. Cabelas does stand behind their stuff. I consider them to have superior customer service.

by the way, i just received my XMLti dropshot spinning rod a few days ago and IT IS SWEET!

i asked one of the sales rep at the store about the 60 day deal and they basically straight up told me that they wouldnt honor it and even the employees had difficulty convincing the store to let them do it...interesting to hear the discrepancy

100%  , I have been fishing their rods for a long time, says it right on line,print catalog and on all of my receipts.I don't know why or if one of their staff would say such a thing.

sorry, but that sales rep must be confused. cabelas customer service is outstanding and would definitely not hassle you about a refund. perhaps the sales rep was thinking that they could take the rod home and fish it for 60 days without having to pay for it first?

I just checked the Cabelas website and looks like the XML rods are going back to their regular prices. I see only a couple of the regular rods are still at the discount prices but all of the technique specific rods are still on sale.

Just another heads up  

I am looking to order some. They say they are backordered.

How long do you typically have to wait before they get new stock in?

Ok I picked my XML worm/jig rod up last night and the power rating on the rod is Heavy but its advertised on the site as a MH and checking with Cabelas to see if all the technique specific rods are Heavy rather than the advertised MH.

Anyone else order a Technique specific XML casting the the power rating was different than what's on the site?

i ordered an XML finesse flipping stick...it was listed as MH online and in the catalog but the wrapper on the rod itself said H. my guess is that some of the wrappers are incorrect. the flipping stick definitely feels like an MH stick compared to my other H-rated flipping sticks. i also have the XMLti dropshot spinning rod which is rated M which i would say is spot on and, if anything, leaning a little more toward ML than MH.

as for the worm/jig rod, ideally they should have a very stiff ("fast") tip. to me, the ideal worm rod is MH and the ideal jig rod should H.

Cabelas emailed me back and stated the label on the rod is incorrect just as you stated and that the rod is in fact a MH and not an H. They rep that emailed me back said to check the blank for the true rating.

Thanks for chiming in Frank

I was playing around with the XMLti's at Cabelas yesterday....these are nice sticks.  A rod with Recoils for $100?  Jump on it.  They aren't on sale in-store, but they will match the internet price.
