hello, thanks for your great blog, as i'm new to double hand rod in saltwater, it helps a lot ; ) i would like to have your advise, i have the possibility to get a sage z axis, 12,6" , line 6, at a very fare price, did you ever try z axis double hand rod? if so, how does it compare to sage one switch rod ? thanks for your help, best regards, Eric.
Hi Eric, Yes I have tried the Z-Axis 6wt switch rod. The response of Z-Axis is not quite as fast a rod as Sage One, neither is it as light. For saltwater, it's better to get a faster rod. I think 11' + switch rod is a good length for saltwater. It is lighter and not so cumbersome to land fish. I don't think you need anything longer than 12' unless you are planing to fish the surf overhead casting from the beach. In which case, you should get a stiffer rod like the TFO Pandion or the Beulah Opal.
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I'll bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly. I am quite sure I will learn many new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
