    Sage rods repair turnaround time

    I was a little surprised they couldn't repair the VXP , but would much rather have this Sonic 696 thats coming instead . I would bet they would still fix the XP , mine was pretty old the last time it got fixed .

    Sage rods repair turnaround time

    The VXP is unrepairable , they don't have the repair parts . Got a new Sonic coming . The nice thing is I have my choice of any Sonic I wanted . I thought you got what you sent in ,or something comparable , not the case if it's a different model rod . Anyway being a bit 5 weight poor ,not really...

    Sage rods repair turnaround time

    I can see your frustration being local ,but I found the process pretty simple being hundreds of miles away . Talking to them on the phone ,they were very cordial ,and helpful as far as what is going to happen , in my case it's most likely going to be a different rod ,but either way I am okay...

    Sage rods repair turnaround time

    Doesn't sound like too bad of turnaround this time of year . It's been two weeks so far with me , I would think if it's a different rod I'd get it shipped not long after they look at my rod ,and determine it can't be fixed , no parts . I wish it would be $70 ,but my rod being older is $195 .

    Cast right-handed? Psst...You can use right hand retrieve It's OK

    Although it feels pretty unnatural , after awhile doing a lot of casting ,I'll switch hands casting, I can cast with my right , give my left a rest.

    Cast right-handed? Psst...You can use right hand retrieve It's OK

    I too am pretty ingrained being left handed , but there is two things, one is I reel right handed . It just seems natural to cast left handed being left handed , and wanting the rod in my left hand fight a fish . But what does feel awkward is stripping in line with my right hand , I do it ...
