Three out of four ain't bad.
Never owned a Sage but had four of the classic GLX's. I sold three and kept one only to bust it in the Outer Banks a few years back. I sold the GLX's to get a few Winston BIIx's and never looked back. What I still wonder at how long it took manufacturers to catch up the the old GLX's. Graphite scrim ain't all that new if you look back at those old GLX's.
My daughter called dibs on my IM-6 TMF when I kick the bucket and the 6' 10", 3 weight 'G' I have is probably going with me to the great beyond. What a rod... art in workmanship and art in performance.
