Does anyone have any feedback on the Sage Accel or One in the 9' 6wt?
My cousin recently retired and wants to take up fly fishing. He lives in CA and wants a rod that he can screw around with for pond bass, and also for occasional trout in NV and CO.
He asked me to build him a rod after seeing some of the ones I have built recently, and gave me a $500 final budget.
Of course he doesn't have a clue what he is wanting in the rod, and told me just to build him something nice. He said that he will take some casting lessons when he gets the rod.
So, I am looking to find out how either would do with whatever popper style flies are needed for pond bass, and how well of an all around rod it might do for trout....even though I hate the concept of an all around rod.
He is quite athletic and I am sure would have no issues with instruction on whatever I build him, but I am leaning towards the Accel.
Very vague, I know, but that is what I have to go off of.
