Sounds like you took the plunge. I have a number of Sage RPL rods and they are my favorite all-around rods. I have a 10 foot 4 weight that I use in my kayak from time to time. I have a Hobie Outback sit-in kayak that sits low in the water so I use the 10 foot rod to keep the back casts off the water. It has a different feel to it, but it is a nice rod to fish and still very light in the hand.

Good luck and enjoy.
