i am about to get a new sage vxp and have loved casting my brothers a few times he let me! what are your opinions on this rod??
Awesome rod it was modeled after the older XP rod which was hands down one of the best rod out there ( IMHO). But that being said anything at the price point is going to be a great fly rod.
Also you may want to look into the Z-axis With the new One rod out there starting to discount the pricing on the Z-axis Ive seen the z-axis and online at Cabelas for around the same price as the VXP.
Which VXP are you going to buy? I have a 9’6" 5 wt. that I use mostly for tooning and am VERY satisfied with it. Have used it a lot on some small lakes over in Colorado up on the grand mesa, and over here by Vernal up on Diamond Mountain. From medium buggers down to small nymphs and a variety of dry flies. Handles everything, including moderate wind conditions very well… Good luck with your choice!
Sinergy you have alway seem to really know your stuff. Actually I believe I bought a pair of waders from you a little ago. But since you have experience with the VXP, do you believe $250 for a 9 Ft. 5 Wt. Brand new VXP is a good deal?
BRAND NEW !!! 250.00… Id say that’s a great deal even used ones aren’t even selling that cheaply. Does the seller have any more ?
How the waders working for ya ?
He doesn’t. Just a family friend who doesn’t fly fish and won the rod! I for sure won’t let this one past me then!
But those waders work great! I really like them so far! I’m going to the green and will be needing them for that late October trip
