The XO Catapult DH is designed for anglers who want a two-handed rod that’s faster and more responsive than the classic XO III DH. Its fast action helps form tight loops and cast heavy shooting heads, especially with sinking tips. The unsanded blank uses a graphene-reinforced resin and a high-end carbon blend to maintain retrieval speed without making the rod feel hollow. The 6-piece design makes it easy to transport a large salmon rod. The choice depends on the size of the river, the head used, and the power needed for the fight.
