This is a superb small stream fly rod with substantial power yet unbelievable finesse and smooth casting ability.

Sage say this about the series on their website: "Designed for anglers who prefer an easier, more relaxed casting rhythm, the ZXL elevates classic action fly rods to an entirely new level of performance. In other words, you get the smooth feel and delicate presentations of a traditional, progressive taper without sacrificing distance, accuracy or wind penetration".
