For what it's worth, go to ebay, and if you look hard enough and have a little luck, that's the best place to look for any kind of fly fishing equipment. If you want a decent Sage rod, you can find something used that will fit your needs and pocket book. And you can completely outfit yourself for a whole lot less. I did a lot purchases that way, and ended up with 3 extra rods, reels, and everything else. I started out years ago with a Cortland rod, and went to a Sage RPL+ about 10 years ago. You can find what you want, and fit it into a budget if you take your time.
