I was recently rear ended on the highway resulting in the total loss of
my Yukon along with three flyrods and reels. One of the rods was
a Sage RPL 590 Graphite III, 9', 5 wt., 2 pc....which is now an
unintentional 4 pc. For the insurance claim I have been trying to
establish what model Sage rod is an equivalent today. I would be
greatful for any advice.

I broke an RPL two years ago and Sage replaced the broken section
and completely refurbished the rod. Had been pretty beat up --
dirty, scored, chipped grip, dings on the reel seat, etc. -- came
back indistinguishable from a new RPL. If you think that's made
me more "loyal" to Sage as a maker, you're right.

Try it. You might have the same experience.
