I don't think anyone is "dumping" on the new rod. Most people won't or can't purchase a rod for $500+ everytime a company comes up with a "new and improved" product.

If you can afford to drive the Ferrari then by all means, do so. Some have to stick to the Cadillac, others the Chevrolet. Still some, drive to their fishing stream with their ebay bought low end combo in their rusted out clunker pick-up truch.

Guess what though ... they catch fish and have fun doing so, just as you will with your Sage.

I have 11 fly rods and as many reels. However, if you purchased 4 of these "new" rods alone you'd exceed the MSRP of all I own.

I want a rod/reel/backing/line/couple of flies and a half day guided trip for $500.00.

Just my 2?
