http://www.flyfishingoutfitters.com/f... Why replace a beloved series of light fly rods? When you can make that series 33% lighter while dramatically improving its performance, the real question is why wouldn't you? Besides its near weightlessness, the TXL-F (the "F" is for "feel") Series of fly rods has received a tune-up in the form of increased sensitivity and performance with the latest version of Sage's exclusive G-5 technology, as well as new and improved microferrules. The series even has a brand new grip: a "snub-nose half wells" grip that's just one more reason it's tough to put down at the end of the day. Ultralight rods in general have a reputation for being "noodly". Not so with the TXL-F, which responds to the same casting stroke that efficiently loads and unloads Sage's high performing fast action rods.
