SAGE X 4wt 9’ft 4pc FLY ROD!! The tube has some scratches, but the rod is in NEW condition! The pictures are made to show the rods condition, not to hide anything! With that said, please don’t mistake the glare of light for scratches, they are not scratches. "The X rod’s all-new fast action taper built with our KonneticHD Technology delivers greater blank recovery and a crisper tip stop - creating tighter, more efficient loops throughout all ranges of casting styles. This taper allows you to dig deeper into the rod and access the lower sections, shifting power closer to the angler. Decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank result in a more accurate and efficient presentation, resulting in a performance driven, forgiving fast action blank - refining the synergy between angler, rod, line, and fly."
