Default Return of a Classic

"Feather-Craft has commissioned SAGE to build an exclusive,
limited run of their legendary 4711 LL (Light Line) fly rods.
This 7'11" 4-weight, 2- piece medium-fast action fly rod
disappeared almost a decade ago, but is still commonly
discussed and admired amongst groups of fly rod aficionados.
Many believe, including me, that this is the finest small stream
4-weight fly rod ever made. Don Green's masterpiece (Founder of
Sage Rod Company). I have 11 rods unspoken for at the time of
this writing. Cost is $550. Delivery is April, 2009. $100 deposit
required. Balance due on delivery. Sold on a first come basis...."

Usual disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Feathercraft other
than as a satisfied customer.

The LL series was/is indeed legendary. I have 490-4 LL and it's
my all time favorite 4 wt. Why Sage discontinued the LL I'll
never know, it was/is the sweetest casting Sage I've ever used.
Anyway here's a rare opportunity to get a brand new one.
