Why I do anything is beyond me and all who know me, yet I still

disagree.

No, you don't.

Ok, forget what I said before. I no longer disagree.

I really, REALLY like my Sage 5wt 5pc SP. It is, by far, the most
vesatile flyrod I've ever owned.

The notion that the SP is a "slow" rod is quite bizarre to me.

Just my opinion but the SP was the first fast action rod which flexed below
the tip when casting. (And one of the first Sages which actually matched the
wf line weight). They had the SP+ series very fast rods but they did not
stay on the market long. Then when they released the XP series which is
markedly faster. So they had the LL series of medium rods and the XP fast
with the SP's in the middle so folks just kind of associated them with
slower rods. I like the SP series but never considered them slow myself.

What about the SP+? Is that faster or slower than the SP?


Much much faster. Very little flex and did a lousy job of protecting tippets
smaller than 5X.
