Looking at getting one or the other. Any opinions from owners or people that have fished out of each?

I have had them both but the X-13 was my favorite. Well balanced and paddle great. Just my 2cents!

Trident 13 would be my choice. The rod pod is so useful.

Paddle them both and decide for yourself. Would you buy a car based solely on the recommendation of somone online?

I plan on paddling both, but wanted to incorporate the opinion of others who may have had the chance to fish from them both. It's hard to consider everything during a test drive. In addition to test driving a car, I would also be very interested in the opinion of drivers who have owned that car for some time, they have way more knowledge about the pros/cons than I could ever hope to get from a brief stint behind the wheel.
