I hear ya. My new Sage is a master piece. Unfortunately, all I've managed to do with it so far this year is to lose one fish. Even so, those 2 head shakes felt really darn good! Oh well, I'll get more chances on this rod, soon....

Again, I'd recommend to anyone to have TH make your next rod. Loomis, Lamiglass, Rogue, Allstar, Fenwick, etc - none of them compare in quality to a TH Custom Rod. Not even close. Tom and Travis are master craftsman. You will NOT be disppointed.

I'm having TH build me a custom Rainshadow HSR930 now. Should be a sweet rod. Will replace a lot of the duties the IMX1025 is doing now. Looking forward to putting the hurt to a few springers on this new rod.
