I committed the cardinal sin of rod buying this weekend....
NEVER try a rod that is outside your budget because then you will try to justify the purchase.
Backstory: Looking for a 6wt to use while targeting carp, LMB and redfish in the fall. Tried out the TFO Mini-Mag, TFO BVK, Sage Approach, Sage Access and went outside my budget to try the Sage VXP. Wanted to try the TFO Mangrove but they didn't have it. Long story short, freaking loved the VXP. Especially with the Rio Smallmouth line my LFS special ordered for me.
Still trying to decide which way to go but if I am not carfeul my wife will
