Just got back from a trip and broke the tip on my sage 590 RPL rod. This
rod had a life time guarantee. When sage replaces it I will sell it. I
have 2 rods the 590 RPL and a #3 LL. I have never liked the RPL. The tip
just does not flex enough for me.

What rods could you suggest for a #5 replacement which has a softer feel?
My #3 Sage LL is my favorite rod. The soft tip is what I am after. Do any
of you have a newer sage which is like the older LL series?

The RPL was a fine rod I just did not like the feel, others I fished with
tried it and thought it was great, it was just not my style.
