| Sage rod |
Question:
Early this year I had the opportunity to test Loomis rods I was impressed by the GLX and the GL3. Was seriously considering buying a
Loomis until I discovered there guarantee policy. I then tested Sage and Orvis rods. My preference goes to the Sage VPS 7w 9 ft. (medium-fast action). This rod will be used for brook and brown trout, landlocked salmon and bass. My fly fishing is in rivers and lakes with nymphs, streamers, wet flies, bass bugs and dry flies.
I am now using a Fenwick HMG 7w 8.6 ft for the same job. For windy conditions, heavy nymphs or for long distance casts this rod is lacks some strength or power.
I would like to have your opinions and comments on the Sage VPS rod and/or on the end use.
Answer:
If you like the 7wt, try a 3wt for those brookies!! I have 3, 5, and 9wt
GLoomis rods, and always find that I switch to the 3 if at all possible.
Don't know if I'd do that for Salmon, but I did catch a 2 1/2 pound
bigmouth on that 3 wt.
