Who uses Sage rods?

[cpowell]

I love Sage as well as many rod company's. I was messing around last night bored and threw this little piece together...Anyone know where I am fishing?

You will see my new best friend in the world and soon to be hunting and fishing companion extraordinaire!

That's one that I don't yet own but hope to one day. Cool video, great looking pup!

Don't know where you are fishing but have the Sage rod that you are fishing with & love it :thumbsup:
Nice job on the video.

I will venture a guess as to you are fishing on the s. Platte somewhere.

I am a unabashed Sage junky, Ive just never picked one up that didnt feel perfect. Two -TXL's, a ZXL and a ZAxis later. I would buy a Sage one in a heartbeat but I just cant justfiy a 9'3wt One when I have a 9'4wt Zaxis. If my Zaxis were a 5 then I would grab the One in a 3WT

hmmmmmmaybe I should.......nah

 

[rockriver]

3 Z-Axis rods, and I love them.

 

[Pocono]

Sage rods, hmmm? Well, let's see.........

Z-Axis - 9'0" 5 wt., 9'0" 6 wt.
One - 9'0" 6 wt.
ZXL - 7.6" 3 wt.
TCX- 9'0" 7 wt.
Xi-3 - 9'0" 9 wt.

I have an LL right now in a 2 wt. The ZXL is my choice for sure, but, when I went to get one, I made the mistake of picking up a JWF. See I was looking for a 5 wt.
Great vid!

I understand that one; Marty's rods are all Winstons.

Holy Smokes guys...I thought I was a Sage Junkie.

I guess I better see about a TCX.

 

[stl_geoff]

590- TCX
890 - Vantage
230grn BASS rod

Not as many as some but they are definitly my favorite rods that I own. I also have a Ross and a couple St Croix.

 

[cpowell]

I really want to cast that 590 tcx.

 

[kayo]

My RPL 690 which I build in 1992, still my favorite. :thumbsupu

Gunisson or the Animas?

[stimulator2]

I onlt have two sage rods 490-4 z-axis ans a vps 2piece 4wt i like them both my son has a vantage and he loves it.

 

[wannafish]

I have a Flight 890-4 and a VXP 990-4. I like them both but I haven't used the VXP yet except for practice casting...been fishing situations too rough for a nice rod

 

[sweetandsalt]

I have been fishing Sage rods since they were Fenwicks and could not compile an accurate list if I tried but my current go-to #5 is ONE. However, with much respect, I am not a Sage junkie...I am not a brand loyalist in general. I have great rods from many other designers and companies big and small, American and off-shore, well known and esoteric or out-of-buisness names.
