The more I use this rod the more I like it...I have been fly fishing for almost 20 years and it has become my favourite rod already. I wonder why Sage stopped making them? The 4 piece breakdown is an added bonus for me as I travel a fair bit. What would be the equivalent (sort of) in their current line?
