I'm not sure how much Gill would like the XUL Presso, Both this one the ST and the Presso AGS have a SLOW parabolic action. It seems his SC rods are Fast action rods.

I think slow action is what kind of threw me off on the AGS playing with it at my pond, all of my other JDM rods have faster actions. It wasn't till I spent most of the day fishing with the Presso AGS that I realized it was a nicer rod than I thought at first. i_fish (Victor) on you tube has a couple of videos on the Presso AGS, where you can see just how slow and parabolic the action of the XUL AGS rod is. I did some comparing of the ST and the AGS actions the day I got it while it was raining, the actions are almost identical.
