No problem letting you guys know what I think but I won't know until early May. The shop I ordered from in town here won't get his Sage order until then.
This is the joys of living in the North, plus trout season doesn't open here until the last Saturday in April.

I have purchased most of my rods this way and have had no problems even though I have not practice cast them.

I like to think that I can adapt my casting to suit the rod. I've had to get use to a couple of my current rods that I really didn't care for at first but after a few times out... Now I am quit pleased with them.

Until I can get it into my hands... -Yaf
