Another One from Sage
Sage is replacing the Z-Axis rod series with a new rod series by the name of 'One'.
Even though the Z-Axis series has been on the market for around 5 years, it still sounds like it hasn't been that long ago the Z-Axis was introduced. I have no idea whether the Z-Axis has been the success Sage hoped for? I got the saltwater version for a 6 weight line. I bought it for light saltwater fishing but I haven't used it so far.
I think the green pea color of the Z-Axis blank is one of the ugliest color I've seen on a fly rod. The new One will be black. Well Sage calls it 'black ice' or what ever that may be. The lighter rods (3 - 5 weight) have the similar half or mini wells grip like the TXL-F rod series. In fact it's almost a copy of the TXL-F look as the hardware is almost the same. I like the mini wells grip and it feels comfortable too. Sage also reduced the weight. The 5 weight 4 piece rod weighs under 3 Oz, which is pretty amazing.
Well, I'm sure this new One will cast very nice. Oh the price! Starting off at around $700, so that's pretty steep for a fly rod. As soon as I've cast one, I'll let you guys know what I think.
Update 23 nov 2012:
I have cast the One on several occasions during the last 6-8 months. But recently I've cast the One (9ft #5) next to a Hardy Sintrix (9ft #5). Wow, what a huge difference! The Sage felt lifeless and stiff. It came alive after 25+ feet of line. Close in was pretty bad. The Hardy was amazing close in and longer line. It felt smooth all the way.
Sage has in my opinion gone just too far with their ‘performance rods’...
