Had a 1264c XST, it's a big powerful rod, only suited for kings imo. Never fished the 1263 but it's got to be the more versatile of the 2.

Had a RX-7 in the 1143s it was a good coho & steelhead stick. Fished a RX-7 1144c one day w/ Kerry Batson & really liked it, if your looking for more than just strictly float rod you might want to look @ that model.

I have an 1163c IMX that very similar to that 1144 RX-4. If you think the 1264c XST is a bit heavy, it sounds like the 1263 would be a bit better! Thanks
