attn: jerry siem re: circa flyrods

like it or not sage drives the flyrod business

and they do produce fine fishing poles

there marketing lost me years ago 

as did the trend for faster and faster rods

making casting a chore rather than a mindless simple pleasure

as goes sage others follow

one is very hard pressed these daze

to find a proper dry fly action in a modern graphite rod

the onliest one I know of is the scott g2 (want one too)

until now

I haven't been excited about a sage rod release in a century

actually it's been over a decade

they lost me when they replaced the sp

and a lotta others when they extirpated the ll line

at one point I had three sage flyrods and loved them all

so why is a bamboo rodmaker writing about effing sage?

because jerry siem has developed a retro dry fly action rod

the circa is what I'm talking about and I'm dying to fish one

I cannot afford at this point in the game to fork out sage $$$

nor can I justify buying yet another rod

so really what we have here is my desperate plea

a shoutout if you will to jerry siem and the sage team

how about cutting a brother in bamboo some slack

and let me fish that rod

I'll try a short 3wt and a long 4wt fwiw...
