Might still be more than you want to spend but Sage is discontinuing
the XP series and shops are starting to discount them. You like your 4
wt so why not a 6? The fastest rod I ever cast was the old sage SP+
series but it sucked as a fish fighting tool.


Well, good idea and I called my buddy that gave me a great deal on the 4wt
but he has already cleared out all his old XP rods ... I'd get the 9.5ft 6Wt
they made if I could get the same kind of deal, somewhere



anybody know if the TFO TiCr X 6wt without fighting butt for $225.00 is a
decent stick ? .... it doesn't have any special appeal, just happens to have
the right words in the adman write-up and a price I'm worth ( b-day this
weekend and I do deserve a rod, but I ain't really been that good a boy, so
I should stay under $300, if possible and still get the job done ... ugly is
fine, if it will cast :-)

Can't speak to that rod in particular (and even if I or another could,
it wouldn't mean much as to what you might "like"/"dislike"), but any
TFO, if you "like" it, is among the best bang for the buck rods out
there. Now, if what you mean by "decent" is "a quality rod from a
decent manufacturer who stands behind the gear," I'd say that applies to
all TFOs. I've never seen or heard a single outstanding complaint about
the quality or company.
