The Sage X 9140-4 is a significant improvement on my all-time favorite rod, the Sage ONE 9140-4. The X 9140-4 features the lightest swing weight of any 14-foot rod that I’ve cast. The rod has a regressive feel (bends deeply into the butt), which gives me all the time I need to “turn the corner” when making a single spey. The lightning-fast recovery keeps my loops tight for maximum flight time. The Sage X 9140-4 is a ninja-like scalpel that has largely usurped the role of the 15-foot 10-weight for most applications in Atlantic salmon fishing.
