I think Charlton Heston died before casting a TiCRx. Some years ago I bought a used but in very good condition 9' 5wt TiCRx for $120. I could probably get more than that for it today, as there is a cult following out there of "X-Heads" such as yourself. It is a bit of an overkill for a 5 wt and was panned by YA back in one of its first shootouts, claiming it was a stiff 6 wt. Most X-Heads like the TiCrX for the salt in 6- to 10-weights.
My Simms Freestone boots purchased in the last few years have worn fast. Simms has declined to warranty them even after a year, calling the separations normal wear and tear. Responses asking them what part of the damage is normal went unanswered. I don't have many choices, though. Trying to find size 16 wading boots other than Simms is pretty much impossible so far. My wife's Orvis boots have held up for around 5 years so far with very minimal wear. We fish the same amount. Charlie
