Well, it's not as good as a new ten foot penis in the
Seychelles.....or a forty some pound penis on Easter Island.....but
it'll do.

I've got an old Fenwick 10wt glass rod that was my father-in-laws

I'll never use it .... free to good home if you want it, rw .....
guaranteed to make all that casting and landing stuff much more
challenging than modern gear !!

wonder how many never used rods there are in the world?

Mine is there for a king salmon trip I planned but never took.

Not as many as you think.

Some people can't afford stupidity as a badge of honor.

Andros South, April 2

i'll be staying up at congo town march 19-april 2. so...probably see
you at nassau on april 2 as i'm returning. deneki's andros south was a
place i looked at hard. they certainly have a great pr for bonefishing
on the island... i'll be interested in your opinion of the place. i'm on
their e-mail newsletter list and have read most of their notes. get them
to run you to the west side and you might have a shot at a rare tarpon too.

Thanks to everyone (well, nearly everyone) for the input. It's between
the Sage Xi3 and the Sage Z-Axis. I'll try them head-to-head.

BTW, as to what the 10wt is for, on my upcoming trip to Andros it will
be for throwing lage flies to barracuda. Next time I go to the
Seychelles it will be for milkfish. One of these days I'd like to try
some offshore fishing for albies, dorado, etc., and I'd really like to
catch some large roosterfish.

I think your choice just got easier sine I don't think the Z-axis
comes in a 10, but I wish it did. A ten is typically considered a
Permit rod.

There are a 10wt Sage Z-AXIS and a 10wt Sage XI3 wating for me at the
fly shop.

I'll have to use a cold-water flyline for the cast off in the
snow. :-)

The results:

No appreciable difference in casting accuracy and distance. Both are
sweet-casting rods. The Z-Axis is MAYBE a bit better for short casts
-- hard to tell.

The Xi3 is a bit heavier -- 4 5/8 oz vs. 4 1/4 oz. That may translate
into more backbone for fighting strong fish. It also has a longer
fighting butt.

Decision: Xi3.

By the way, I like Sage's design ethic. The rods are flawlessly
finished, but there are no -- or very little -- non-functional
flourishes to make the rods pretty.
