Sage have released a new model fly rod – the Sage X. In both salt (5 – 11 wt) and freshwater (3 – 11 wt) versions it is a fast action rod enabling you to “dig deeper into the rod and access the lower sections, shifting power closer to the angler.” This rod should be well worth trying. My first models (a 7 and an 8 wt) are on order already.
