I was recently rear ended on the highway resulting in the total loss of

a Sage RPL 590 Graphite III, 9', 5 wt., 2 pc....which is now an

establish what model Sage rod is an equivalent today. * I would be
greatful for any advice.

Z-Axis series, $610.00 retail.

Mr. Lysyk gave you "sage" advice. If I recall correctly, when Sage went to
an uncoditional warranty they retro'd the warranty on their old rods that
people had bought prior to the warranty. If you are the original purchaser
of that rod, they may not have any RPL blanks to fix your rod but they may
provide you with their latest replacement at marginal cost.

Oh and Dickie, the XP series was only recently discontinued.

Ah...I tend to not keep up with "old and outdated" and "NEW AND
IMPROVED!!!" *I knew that it was, um, "not current," but I wasn't sure
about how many levels of bullsh...er, improvements...that they had
advertis...er, made...

Hell, without consulting model charts, catalogs, and other assorted
bull****, I think the "LATEST AND GREATEST!!!" Sage in my locker is an
LL (or maybe a little later rod, but not much...) and I have no idea
where it fits into the scheme...don't care, too...mated with a Billy
Trout and it fishes fine.

TC,

Well an LL is one of their best designs of all time IMHO. One of the
last Green designs if I am not mistaken. (Jim (?)Green the designer,
not "green" in the enviro sense) And still sought after. As a matter
of fact, I am going to look for one rat now in defiance of the coming
Black Monday.
