The Newer than new Sage ZXL . To create a family of trout rods with a purpose and a clear story to tell the ZXL family is limited in line weights from 3 to 6 with no rod over 9' in length. The New Sage ZXL bridges the gap between Sage's Ultralite rod series, the TXL, and the fast action Z-Axis, sage's signature rod family of great breadth. By capturing the space known as "trout light" and holding the model offering to just 10 models, Sage regains the identity and positioning abandonded when the famed Light Line went away.The Sage ZXL series is designed for anglers who prefer the slower fishing tempo of moderate action fly rods. Creekside is among the first flyshops in the world to have stock in this exciting new rod...Visit our shop and cast one for yourself. Be the first on your block.
