The Sage ZXL moderate-fast action 4-piece rod for a 4-weight line bridges the gap between the fast-action Z-Axis and the ultralight TXL. The ZXL rods are lightweight, strong and easy to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a smooth progressive taper. The rod flexes down toward the grip, allowing you to lay down the most delicate, accurate presentations.  Utilizing Sage’s proprietary Generation 5 (G5) Technology, the ZXL is crafted of lighter, more responsive graphite instead of traditional glass hoop fibers. Moderate fast action, made in the USA at Sage's Bainbridge Island, WA facility.
