Hi Thomas,

After you have selected some rods that you are interested in purchasing like
the 9' #6, 4 piece Sage Xi2 and Scott S3s and possibly a few others, the
only way I know to select the "right" one is for you to cast them all. We
all have a little different casting style so we find different action fit
different people.

Now if you can't do this, I would recommend buying the Xi2 because world
wide, this is the most popular choice of fly fishing guides and salt water
anglers. There are lots of great rods made by Sage, Scott, G.Loomis, T&T and
Winston but Sage is still the most popular in high quality rods especially
in salt water.

Another good reason is that Sage does have one of the fastest warranty turn
around times as well.

Hi,

I'm in this "frustrating" postition, where I have aprox. 700US $ to spend
on
a new flyrod. ) I'm looking for a 9 feet #6 weight rod, which I can use
mainly for coastal fishing after seatrout/steelhead here at home in
Denmark,
but also for an occational trip for bonefish/small permit. I've been
looking
at the Scott S3 and the Sage Xi2 and the Loop Blueline Sal****er. I'd
prefer
a 4 piece rod, rather than 3 or 5.

Any experience with these rods, or any comments on other good/suitable
rods?
And no. 6 weight is not a typo. )

By the way. As an alternative, I'm ok with buying a blank, and building
the
rod myself, if this can save me a lot of $$$. Allthough I have to been
able
to try a finished rod first of course. )



Thank you in advance )
