2016年6月21日 · If you're tossing normal sized streamers and dont battle huge winds the VXP in my opinion would be fine. I used to have a legend ultra (medium fast) 6wt and it was fine. I did recently get a Sage ONE 691-4 for streamers because I am going more where the wind howls and were prone to use a big streamer lead wrapped and tungsten coned.

2015年12月24日 · In my opinion, Sage has over rated the VXP rod action for a true 5 wt rod. The rod is light and very smooth in it's action. Smooth fly rods tend to be slower action fly rods that without any abrupt transitions in flex/deflection profile. I would like to see the deflection chart of the Sage VXP compared to the other Sage rods that are classified ...

2015年7月7日 · Would I pay full price $500, no. I have 5 (8.0, 8.5, two 9.0, and 10.0 ft) other 5 wt rods I can use. The VXP is my 6th 5 wt rod and 3rd 9 footer. So for me to pay $500 for another 9 ft 5 wt rod, it would have to be $500 better than the ones I have. Cabela's - Sage VXP Fly Rods customer reviews - product reviews - read top consumer ratings

2013年9月21日 · So over the years I have owned and fished many 9' 5 weight "all-rounder" rods, after many rediculous and frustrating rod purchases I have settled on the sage VXP 9' 5 weight and absolutely adore this stick from craftsmanship to raw performance in nymphing, dry fly, soft hackle swing, streamer stripping to single hand spey and roll casting, this ...

2017年6月19日 · I currently use a Sage VXP 9' 5wt (have had it about 4 years). I'm looking for a second 5wt rod - I often need a second one for friends / family but rather than buy a cheap one for that purpose I'd like to upgrade my rod and keep the VXP for others (or backup). What current rods have similar...

2014年8月8日 · The VXP is a fast rod, however unlike most sage models has a progressive flex, very unique taper that gets overlooked by experienced anglers. Due to this progressive dry fly fishing is top notch. I know I'm sounding preachy, but I …

2020年3月19日 · I have a 906 VXP and have fished a friends 906 XP. Both are great, versatile rods. The XP will be more like the VXP than the RPL, but still quite a bit faster. If my heart were set on a Sage, I'd just save up to go get a new X. It costs $125 to have warranty work done on rods as old as the XP, and $75 for the VXP.

2011年2月11日 · The VXP is not the old XP. Sage took the XP blank and softened it up. This rod has a completely different feel than the XP. Sage considers the VXP a medium fast action. As for casting, it is a nice stick. Its action is on the quicker side of the spectrum for medium fast rods. It can throw tight loops for streamers, wets, and dries.

2017年3月28日 · The VXP was discontinued by Sage three years ago. I don't know if Cabela's just has a whole bunch left in stock or whether Sage is still making the VXP exclusively for them in a limited range of sizes, but they constantly have the VXP on the site and usually on sale.

2017年4月20日 · My go-to/general use trout rod is a 9' #6 VXP. I use it for nymphs, dries, and streamers, mostly nymphs and streamers even though it's a great dry fly rod. I also use the MPX line, but I'd go with something else for dries. It generates lots of line speed while maintaining enough delicacy to be acceptable for a 6 weight.
