Okay, while out today having my Sage RPL 4 wt make me look good, I think I need a 6 wt RPL. I have a TFO Clouser 6 wt but the RPL speaks to me, well maybe whispers sweet nothings.
Any out there? I have some possible trade stuff too.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a 9' 7wt 2 piece RP that I'll sell cheap, if that interests you.

Don't forget that the VPS (introduced slightly later) was the same blank as the RPL, just with less fancy hardware. I have that one in a 6 weight and it definitely is a fine rod. Expand your search to that rod too and you may have more luck.
Thanks John for the tip! I appreciate it!

Did you ever get your fly rod?
I did get the Sage RPL 8 wt. Found it on eBay, bought it, test cast for some driveway fish and I am very happy!
Thanks for the suggestions.

Good for you, Mike. i asked because I have a 6wt RPL I'm thinking of selling.

Mike, I see your post is a few month old. If you are still looking for a 6 wt RPL, I have an 8-1/2 foot RPL+ that I built from a blank. I've fished it for a few years, it handles well, has some real strength to it. I use both WF and DT 6's on it, I think the DT works better, but that might be just for me,who knows? I'm thinking about $175 with a good tube and sock, i"ll take care of the postage. I live in Bigfork, Montana. I've been building rods for years and think I do a good job on them. When I build one for myself, I do it pretty plain, no fancy wraps or anything like that, and this one was for me. It's a decent looking rod, could be a real workhorse for you. Sages are pretty tough. I also have a 10' 6 wt RPL, 3 piece, if something like that might interest you. That one comes with an extra tip, unwrapped ( no guides ), and a nice rod case, the kind that you can keep the reel on the rod. I would like $300 for that one, it was an expensive blank. It has only been fished a few times. I think I can send some email pictures if you would like, just send me your email address.
