The Sage LL (Light Line) series is a classic. I have a 9' 4 wt
that is the finest 4 wt I've ever cast. I'm fond of the original
RPL's too.

Getting back to the big sticks, I don't have an 8 wt but when I
went shopping for a 9 wt I tried several different rods, including
Sage, and ended up with the Winston Boron II-MX. I would imagine
I'd make the same choice among the available 8 wts.

glass"...and for the Stevish amongst few, be he n'er so vile, "get yer head out
of yer ass glass"...oh, yea, oh, boil and bubble, toil and trouble...
