I max out @ $495 lol.

Spent that years ago on my factory Sage CT 290, I was going to have a custom 290 made up but when I crunched all the numbers it worked better for me to buy a factory stick. The Sage no questions repair was the big factor for me.

Just found myself a like new CT 296 up in BC thats mine now, only fished twice w/ tube & unmarked card $450. I look at these as investment rods, when I'm done w/ them the factory rods will always have a better market value.
