I have the 6 wt 9 ft ZXL and it is my main dry fly rod for larger rivers. It is a medium action rod, one of only a few that Sage has made over the years, and it casts great and is a fantastic rod. While it is a medium action it does have the backbone to toss large dries on large rivers even in a strong wind, which is why it is my number one dry fly rod for the rivers of Montana and eastern WA.

Since it is now on the way out that means there would be a nice discount for the rod, which means now is a great time to buy the ZXL if you want a great casting medium action trout rod.
