I have to admit, my Z-axis (11' 7wt) is among my most treasured possessions and the more I use it, the more I love it. Re: the flex issues, I was at first surprised how it loaded to the cork even with moderate sized fish, fish well below what I would expect the upper range of that rod to be capable of moving. At first I was apprehensive about putting a big bend in it, but it seems to be up to the task, even if it does look and feel overloaded when you are yarding in a big 'un. I think this is the same switch Scott Howell is using on this summer run. He gets a good bend going out of a 6-7 lb. fish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjRBLdPyqBwJump up to 7:10 & take a look. I always thought of the Z in the fast action class, the new SageONE redefines fast action ? c/22

I'm pretty sure that Paker just got owned. ...and by an ascot wearing, scotch drinking, fairy wand flinger, too! I can handle getting owned by a fellow bait thug (IE, Stam), but damn.....Slamo sure pulled off his Orvis leather driving gloves for thise one! ![rofl rofl](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/rofl.gif) Looks like if I'm gonna go out and fish by myself, I'm gonna need to get a guides license!

I have many ONE's. Some have the letters LL, XP, RPL, SP, IMX, GLX, GL3, just above the handle. Do I need to cast another foot? Rarely. Do I lose fish because they don't bend into the butt enough.....;) That's something I'll never know the answer to.. ![evil evil](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/evil.gif) Some day I may own the ONE but only after someONE else has figured out they're going to put it in the classifieds in search of the NEXT ONE.

If we really want to get this conversation going, let's talk about flyfishing (swinging flies, wet or dry), and float fishing (nymphing)...and, of course, flossing (bead fishing)... while all the Ascots are blowing their respective horns and gaskets, I'll run down the bank and toss a spoon for a while ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) Fish on...

Todd,
The only way to be sure you'll use your Spey rod is to leave all your gear rods at home. Confidence, bro, confidence. Many of us have never taken a spinning or casting rod to Canada.
Sg That is partially true. Last year with the high water, the fish were holding tight to shore and you only needed a 40 foot cast so I used the single hand rod the whole time. I finally strung it up on the last day just to play with it a little and so I could brag about Spey casting in BC. I have not taken a gear rod but I'm still trying to figure out a way. I found a four piece casting rod that I may break out should the opportunity arise. But it is not a Sage One so I digress from the original topic.

That is partially true. Last year with the high water, the fish were holding so tight to shore that even Parker could cast to them with a spey rod.
Fixed that for you. Sad, but true...... Even *I* could manage a spey "cast" on the Skeena for a steelhead last year. Although, when I was there, the Skeena was so low that I could cast half way across the river at the vegetable patch! Never did see any high water last year. Looks like that's not a problem this year. "Cast" is probably the wrong word. More like...well...I don't know what it's like..... ...if I only had a Sage ONE! Damn. ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/laugh.gif)
