I had a chance to use the Sage 1090-4 Z Axis Fly Rod this past weekend for Stripers in Massachusetts. Very Nice! I matched the rod with a 400 grain full sink Streamer Express and a Lamson Litespeed 4 Reel. Seemed about right for this rod. The rod was great. Easy to cast, fast enough and a good feel for the line at all distances. We used flies in about the 2/0 to 3/0 hook size range and the rod casted these with ease. A very light feeling rod and our guide for the weekend was impressed, asking what weight the rod was, surprised that it was a 10 weight!
I caught about 25 Stripers ranging from around 18 to 28 inches in length and the rod was also great for fighting these fish. See these and cast these rods at A.A. Outfitters Fly Shop in Blakeslee, Pa. Give us a call at 800-43-8119 or visit online at www.aaoutfitters.com
