[quote smallmouth89]Noticed Peter was using one of the new Sage flyrods in one of the pics he posted on the stripping apron thread. Anybody else using these new short flyrods. Thoughts and opinions?
Ok, here it goes- If Im going to cast BIG bugs and flies
to bass then that is the only rod I want to have in my hand.
My rod is the smallmouth rod and I can cast some huge stuff with it.
I love that rod a lot.
Now it is NOT for any kinda delicate casting. That fly line
that comes with it will splash hard on the water. But thats
ok because Im trying to get a big bug up there anyways
and it will get the basses attention for sure.
When comes to casting short rod ( 7'11'') from a float
tube, well it does take a little practice. I fish out of
super fat cat so I sit up out of water. No problem.
I dont think that would try to make a 80'-90' cast with it.
60' yeah I can do that no problem. But then again, in the
float tube you can get close to fish so you dont have
to make monster cast every time.
All in all it is a great rod for BIG stuff.
I hope this helps you
