OK, so Sage just released a new Fly Rod to replace the ultra-fast, “for experienced casters” TCR. The TCR was a very fast, stiff rod for experienced casters in demanding conditions where distance casts, wind and larger flies come into play. These rods were very nice rods but perhaps “not for most fly casters”. So when Sage replaced it with the new Sage TCX, I wasn’t too thrilled because I thought, “OK, another super-fast rod which most people (especially novices) won’t be able to cast easily and will find way too stiff”. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
I tried the new Sage TCX Fly Rod and was very excited. This rod is super-light, thin, very fast, but does NOT feel stiff. The TCX is a joy to cast for those who like a fast action rod, like myself.
For those of you who were disappointed that the Sage XP was discontinued and felt that the Z Axis wasn’t quite the best replacement for the Sage XP … here you go, the Sage TCX!
These great rods are arriving now at A.A. OUTFITTERS. Come on in and give it a try, or call to order 800-443-8119.
