Sage Z-axis Fly Rod Review

The Z-Axis Model 590 is 9 feet long and only weighs 3 3/16 oz for the 2 piece model and 3 3/8 oz for the 4 piece model. The handle is Portuguese cork and the reel seat is nickel silver. While the rod is light, it is certainly strong at the same time.

One angler said that they were able to easily cast over 60 feet for extended periods of time without causing any problems to their arm. It also performed well in winds allowing for an accurate cast.

Great rod, you will feel the difference of the Z-Axis technology. It’s the best rod i ever had. – R. Franck Tagle, Amazon.com

While the rod is powerful, it is also accurate for short casts due to the computer enhanced taper, and is also very forgiving which is great for beginners and veterans alike. The rod is becoming well known as a great all rounder for trout fishing.
The rod series was designed by Jerry Siem who himself is a great caster, which when combined with the technology to refine the design aspect, the result is something that many anglers are claiming to be a rod that is ‘near perfection’.

The price tag is a bit of a hefty one, and there are of course rods of this type at a cheaper price, so it would depend on your budget whether you want to take the plunge or not. With that said, there is a limited lifetime warranty and the rod has a reputation of being very durable.

In summary, if you are prepared to pay that little bit more for a fly fishing rod, the Sage Z-Axis Fly Rod will practically guarantee one of the best fishing experiences you can have, according to many impartial real reviews from customers.

Tip for Fly Fishing and Baiting

Hi Folks

Quick tip today, something that I learnt a few years back when I ran out of bait when doing some river fishing.  As you know, any fishing trip isn’t complete without a flask of tea and a few sandwiches.

Well, as I said, we were river fishing and was having some luck with trout and mullet, when I ran out of bait and started cursing.  My friend who has been doing it since he was a kid, asked if I had any sandwiches left.

To cut a long story short, it seems that many fish are quite partial to a bit of bread  You can either throw a handful of large crumbs on the surface to attract some fish to the are, or as I did, wet the bread, roll it up into a ball, and then bait it on the hook.

I caught 2 more fish using this method, not many but a lot more than what I would have caught without any bait at all!  Now I always make I bring some bread for the fish as well as for me!

Let me know if you’ve found anything weird and wonderful fish are partial to, we all know, that Carp love the taste and smell of pineapple for example!

Speak soon,
Phil

Stillwater Fly Fishing

Written by Jake Ricks from River Bum

For many anglers stillwater fly fishing is a kind of ugly cousin to river and stream fishing. I admittedly used to look at it a bit that way. However, this time of year I actually itch to get out on the lakes.

When the ice comes off the fish feed like crazy and these are often much bigger fish than you might find in your local streams (my 6 pound brown this week being an example).

Stillwater fly fishing presents it’s own challenges as well. Lake fish feed at different depths at different times and on different food items. Locating them is sometimes more challenging than it is on rivers that have clearly defined fishy water. If you’re hesitant to try stillwater fishing just get out and try it during the runnoff this year when you have nothing else going on, and say “hi” because that’s probably where I’ll be.
