I am sure that what they come up with will be a good replacement. A fast rod with some backbone but not so fast that it can't be cast decently by almost anyone using it.

For now I have a nice selection of Sage rods, I don't think I will need any more, but then.............................

I mirror that sentiment exactly.

If I had to get rid of all my Sage rods except one I keep the XP. Love that rod!
