Ouch, no doubt. I'm not familiar with Sage, but generally industry insiders get "pro-deals" so that they can be seen using the product in order to promote advertising. Generally, the industry frowns on their "pro-deal" gear being sold or even "used lightly" and then sold. Sometimes they even issue "fine print" to that effect. That MUST be why they put someone's name on it, huh? Not accusing anyone of anything, BUT: it would seem unethical to sell a "lightly used" rod for more than was paid for it...

I wonder how many times this would happen before the company quits "sponsoring" guides and industry insiders?
