GLX CP rods have very fast recovery, but there is nothing "fastish" about their action. As far as I know there is no CP rod on the market that comes anywhere near the weight of GLX.
From description I'm hearing sounds more like a stouter version of the Rainshadow XST 13' 6-10 Mod-Fast rod, which will definitely handle big nates and kings.
