X7 Super Eiger Equivalents

[goldrod]

I’m looking to borrow a X7 Super Eiger ( they say that it doesn’t hurt to ask .) but if that doesn’t pan out I am looking for the equivalent in today’s rod market.
Please list suggestions

The X7 super eiger is one fine rod. It's my favorite from the X7 line and my favorite all time ML casting rod.

As for comparison with current available rods on the market, I would take a look at either the Daiwa Steez Racing Design 6101ML+ or the Poison Ultima 1610L-BFS. Now, not owning either of these comparison rods I can't give an accurate comparison, but looking at the ratings it appears the ultima may be a bit lighter in power and the steez RD slightly higher in power.
Also assuming money is no object.

You can’t be a crank head if the tug is your addiction

Money is always the object. I’ve been looking at the racing designs quietly though. Very quietly
Thanks for the heads up though. I recently was forced to buy the same rod twice because the first one is taking too long.
So I think I have double coverage in one area of power fishing.
This is a different area altogether though. The X7 came as a recommendation for a special purpose rod I am looking for and the hien was not something that I wanted. This gives me a starting place and kinda aligns with what I was thinking.

If you've never fished that particular X7, you won't know the difference anyways. My suggestion would be the Phenix K2 683ml. This is the main stick I've seen comparisons made with. That's in reference to power, taper and sensitivity. Best of luck on borrowing that prized possession.

Thanks for that grande. Honestly never considered it until now
I’ll read a bit more on the K2. Spec wise I was looking at the 7’1”
Either way this has become an interesting subject that I’m gonna talk with the wife about
