Billhv Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Country Pleasures also has a limited number of Sage rods at 40% off. I bought one on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've had several (3) CPX's. Nice fast blank! Just sold one, but my wife has both a 5 wt & 6 wt and likes them. My preference is to use a SA GPX line - I find it loads them very nicely!! I think they have been discontinued so you should be able to pick them up for at least 30% off! My only complaint is that the grip/handle is a little narrow for my liking, but that seems to be the trend these days with a lot of rod manufacturers...

Jayhad Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 CPX's are great sticks, i've had a few and was happy with them. If you are a Sage XP fan, you will be happy as the taper is a XP taper and you will notice that they are close to the same feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffin Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My first rod was a Redington and I was very happy with it. Nothing to pricey or fancy but I loved it. I still keep it to let my friends try the sport out. It was a 6 wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 love my CPX and warrenty is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfly Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have 2 CPX's, a 7wt and a 9. The 7 is a contender for my favourite rod. I also have a 3wt RS4, and it's a great rod, too! Anyone know what old Sage taper that one is? Not that I own anything high end. Or ever will. But I sure am grateful that there are enough people who need the latest and greatest from Sage, and are willing to pay for all that R&D, so that I can reap the benefits a few years later for half the price. Bang-for-buck, I think Redington is the best brand around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
