Members john19 Posted September 29, 2009 Members Posted September 29, 2009 I was down last week and stopped in Backcountry Outfitters to get some new gear. I was looking for a new rod and reel Michael showed me the new Sage 99 rod took it out and cast it WOW what a rod So I bought it. It is the 9'9" long and is a 5 wt. I new the true test would be to fish it all I have to say is WOW what a Rod. I love this thing the rod cast very easy handles the nymph rigs well in the wind but to me the greatest thing on this rod is the feel. You can feel this rod all the way down to the butt section. For a M/F action rod it has some flex to it. It really reminds me of the old XP rod. KUDOS to Sage for keeping new innovations coming our way to help us catch more fish. Thank you Michael for helping me out and getting me all rigged up you sure run and operate a great shop. John
