Sage 389-4 Light Line questions
There's nothing like a hexagonal piece of bamboo with a reel attached to
it
when it comes to keeping a fly fisherman happy for a while. Is this
another
of Jennifer Ohlsson's rod series
This will be a personalized one. The Jennifer Olsson series has a lovely 8'
5/6wt rod loosely based on the Ritz/Young type tapers and I very nearly
bought one. But I decided I wanted something with a bit more power to handle
the wind up in the sand ridge country, so Carl offered to build the 8'6" 6wt
for me. It wont actually cost very much more than the insurance from the
broken T&T as he charges quite a bit less than Jennifer's rods cost, even
though he builds her rods as well. Of course, the detailing will not be so
flash on the new rod as on the commercial models but he assures me it will
fish as well. We will see next spring!
