Sage ZXL Rods

Product Details
The Sage ZXL assumes the enviable position as the most versatile all-around rod from one of the world's leading fly-rod manufacturers. The moderate-fast action perfectly bridges the gap between the fast-action Z-Axis and the ultralight TXL. The ZXL rods are lightweight, strong and easy to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a smooth progressive taper. The rod flexes down toward the grip, allowing you to lay down the most delicate, accurate presentations. The ZXL's versatility makes almost every fish fair game, from the brookies in crystal-clear spring creeks, to the monster rainbows lurking in the depths of an alpine lake. Utilizing Sage's proprietary Generation 5 (G5) Technology, the ZXL is crafted of lighter, more responsive graphite instead of traditional glass hoop fibers. Every gram of unnecessary material is removed from the rod blank. This translates into an incredible amount of line feel and response, resulting in intuitively better casting.

Fly Rods Checklist
 |
What's With All That Action? You
hear it everywhere...fly rod action. For detailed info, read the
Fly
Rod Guide. But, in a nutshell, fly rod action refers to how flexible
the fly rod is. Faster action = stiffer fly rod. Slow action = flexible
fly rod. |
|
What "Action" Should I Get? Depends
on what you fish for and your skill level. New and intermediate anglers
generally should use a mid-flex (mid-action) fly rod. Faster action
fly rod (stiffer) are best for making long-casts and windy conditions.
Slow action fly rods (more flexible), are best for short-casts and
spring-creek type condtions. |
|
Get the Right Fly Rod Weight! Fly
rods come in all sorts of line weights. For trout fishing, a fly
rod weight of between 3-6 is generally used. |
|
Match Fly Rod Weight with your fly
reel and fly line. For best fishing, the weight of your
fly rod should match the weight of your fly reel and fly line.
Thus, if you have a four-weight fly rod, use a four-weight fly
reel and a four-weight fly line. |
|
What Length Should I Get? For
general all-around fishing, a rod that is eight to nine feet is the
most popular. |
|
Travel Frequently? If so,
keep an eye on how many pieces the fly rod breaks into. Once upon
a time, two-piece rods were standard. Today, four-piece rods are
probably the most common rods around...allowing them to pack easily.
For frequent fliers (who take their rods as carry-on's), you can
also get seven-piece fly rods. |
