I was thinking of bying a new sage tcx 9ft6 7wt rod for sunk line work and was wondering if anybody has used one? If so what are they like?

Hi Mick, my sons bought me the 10' #7 to get me back inot my fishing following a serious illness as I had no interest in anything at the time.
The first outing for me was hell, could not load the rod, borrowed a Shakespear £39 rod and had a good few hours fishing with that.
I bought an #8 line for it and managed to cast ok, but what i needed was to put more beef on my frame and get my timing near where it was, back to using a #7 and love the rod as I am getting fitter and stronger and use it more. good luck.
regards
Billy

the tcx is an excellent rod , IN THE RIGHT HANDS. i am a sage man, i love them but this rod is just way above my casting standard. it is sooooo fast. if you are a top fly caster then im sure it will be great but on the other hand if you are like the other 90% of fly anglers you might just struggle. get down the shop and try it. its the only way to find out. jon mcmillan.

Sage advice there Get it? I have very recently learned (at significant expense) that fast does not always equal pleasurable or necessarily more powerful. And my experience was the not-that-fast Z Axis - I could cope with it; I just didn't love it. Not sure I could do a TCX. Much more pleasant actions (for me anyway) can still be had with plenty of power. Definitely one to test thoroughly IMHO.

BOUGHT IT sage 796-4 on e bay couldnt let it go. Got it for 321 euro. Cant go far wrong at that price. Now just have to break it to the wife
