Roberage Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I'm looking at getting one of either Recon 4wt or LL 4wt for some dry fly chuckin'. Anyone try these out? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 If the new 4wt LL is anywhere close to the old 4wt Sage LL specially in 8 1/2 ft grab one. I've always regretted selling to one I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbow Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Would totally echo Taco's comments re the old LL line. I have a 398-3LL circa 2010 and it's a great rod. if it were 4pc it would be a perfect dry fly rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowbonehead Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I've got a couple of the original LLs and yes they are sweet dry fly rods.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberage Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Thanks for the info fellas. Any chance you guys have tried the new LL? Ive used a few of the older 3 piece LL's and loved em but I haven't been able to try out the new series to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowbonehead Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have not tried it and do not know anyone that ordered one but the whole thought process of them re-introducing it was to build the same rod as the original so I can not imagine it being any different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said when they have tried to duplicate actions previously they have fallen short. I prefer the VXP over the XP but hey are not the same, maybe the 690, but the rest of the line wasn't the same. I think if they went to original graphite III, wrapped on the original mandrels they'd sell a bundle, I don't own a multi million fishing product empire. Think of an RPL remake, it gives me tingle.

bowbonehead Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Still have all my original RPL's to go along with the LL's I have both the XP's and use the VXP's as boat rods and I like them both.... the VXP's are definitely a little softer in my eyes which is not a bad thing .....
