Sage Circa

Will work for me too. But then I love the ZXL and medium to slow action rods, especially on WC streams. Strange to me that Sage should market a slower stream rod than the ZXL though. These days the trend has been to promote faster action rods and I wonder if their sales of Circa will be as good as they hope. I certainly hope so, just wonder if they have read the market correctly.

Mike, let us know how sales of Circa compare to One sales in the months ahead, will you?

Just did the parking-lot cast test with the Circa 7'9" # 2. I can see myself really getting into this combination of a slow action and fast, wobble-free recovery. To me it feels like the timing of the stroke and power application is typical of a clasic slow-action rod, but the pause both sides is shorter - makes sense based on the faster recovery. Did some of those funny curvy casts, bucket- and reach mends and it certainly does what it's told! Another thing I noticed is that I got a better, more "energetic" back cast than I usually do with a slow-action rod. (I tend to underpower my back cast, in case you're wondering!)
