The reason i posted this topic was because i live in South Africa,and Sage rods are usually imported directly or sold by one shop which sells them at a ridiculous price.
A lesser known shop is now selling the Sage XP at a MUCH lower price.I have my suspicions.
I contacted the Sage factory and they said a serial number is inscribed on the butt of the rod,but not on the other pieces(of a 4 pc)
So how would i know if its authentic?
