The Bow The Brown

Good work. This posting surpasses some of the published pieces I have read in magazines- online and print.

“Yes! Thousands of anglers are “fooled” by the crafty marketing strategies of Sage! Their success for the past 30 years can only be contributed to full page spreads and over-priced sticks. Mike Lawson and George Anderson you should be ashamed of yourselves for producing such poor performing products.” I think our fly fishing peers strongly disagree. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...l=Sage+fly+rods Mr. Canadensis , I get that we all have our favorite. There is nothing wrong with pitching your preference, but trying to strengthen your opinion by discrediting other brands, (Especially Sage) makes you sound like the fool.

did you catch him on the loop multi? skinny

UMMM! A little buyers remorse eh? Just stick with Ross... I don't see them being bought anytime soon...

Umm... Very interesting... Actually, I can see my house in one of the pictures... Fishing this lake is basically like shooting ducks in a barrel..... I guess it works if you need a quick fish fix.... Anyway, "Sundancefisher"... we will sure try to keep this lake on the down low for you....

These two links might help you out. They do extensive review on 5 weights and 8 weight rod companys, basically the same thing going on in this thread----with authority. http://www.yellowstoneangler.com/8.weight....ni.shootout.asp http://www.yellowstoneangler.com/FlyRodCom...nrodtesting.asp There are several good companies out there. TFO has one of the best warranties in the biz so does Loomis... but needless to say, some of my favorite sticks have been Sage... Buying a rod is a lifetime investment. Most of us have many years of fishing left in us to justify paying premium for a rod. I would agree to trying some demo's... then you gain greater perspective and can laugh when you hear everyone's pitch about there favorite rod.
