Does anyone know the difference between the Euro X and Euro XS? Both are listed on this page: [ctsfishing.com]
However, when you click into the Euro X, it goes to the Euro XS page.

Thanks,

Mike,
The Euro XS has a solid tip section.
The Euro X has conventionl hollow tip section - and now has been discontinued.

Thanks for responding Herb but did you mean XS = solid and X = hollow tip?
What are the advantages of one vs the other?

By the way, I no longer see the Euro X on their website.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just wondering... What material is the solidtip made off?

Thanks,
Ben

Euro-XS tip made of graphite. Evidently it is desirable to have a blank designed for uro fishing to be as softas possible. The XS tip will be softer than the old discontinued Euro-X.
I am finding out if the old Euro-X will still be available as a special-order since all discontinued modles may still be ordered.
The Affinity-MX was discontinued and I placed many orders for that model - it has since been brought back. The discontinued Vintage blank is my favorite for Trout fishing.

The original Euro-X IS still available with the hollow graphite tip.

The new Euro-XY with graphite solid tip has a softer tip - without added weight due to fact that it is depowered.

Sorry did you mean XS and not XY or is the XY a 3rd variant not on their website yet?

Thanks,

Mike,
CTS' internal model name for the old Euro Nymphing blank is "FY" -hence the XY.

Let's make it easier to understand:
There are only two dedicated CTS Euro Nymphing
Blanks:
#1. The original 10'6" Euro X #2 or #3. It is no longer shown on the CTS website. It is, however, still available to be ordered.
#2. The new 10'6" Euro XS with the solid tip - also in #2 and #3. It is the only Euro Nymphing blank shown on the website.

Also - don't forget the 11'0" Affinity-X #3 with a depowered , by 1, tip section.
While it's not considered a "Dedicated" Euro Nymphing blank by CTS - it was designed as such upon request of a customer. Now available to anyone interested in a longer blank.
Hope that clarifies.
Herb

I wonder how different they feel? Or why they made the change?
I built out the two Euro-X models last year, and they are aces!
Thanks Herb.
