Back in the day, you had to oversize the lines with Sage rods. Now the line manufacturers do it for us.I have a RP 696-2 from the mid 1980s, always cast better with a 7 WF line. Beautifully finished rod for sure. Excellent summer steelhead rod on the D back in the days when I could wade that river. Now it is just gathering dust. Sad.
