Sage Z Axis 576-4 Fly Fishing Rod - Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters

http://www.flyfishingoutfitters.com/p/s/viewitem.aspx?sid=rod-sag-zaxr-576 This seven foot, six inch five weight from Sage is the go-to rod for close quarters fishing, especially if big fish are a possibility. Like where? Small side channels in Alaska, brushy New Zealand streams, and Rocky Mountain beaver ponds are a few places where this rod could come in really handy.

The 576-4 does load well in close- that is what it was designed for. Deciding between it and the 476 ZXL depends on how you're fishing and where. The ZXL is obviously lighter so it would be better for more delicate presentations. For bigger flies for bigger fish- think sculpins, flesh flies, etc, go with the 576-4 Z Axis. For lighter dry flies, smaller water, and smaller fish, go with the ZXL as it is a more delicate rod with a slightly slower action.

@FrankB1191 Thanks for the comment, FrankB1191. The idea behind these latest short videos is to briefly give people an idea of what to use each individual rod for- places, species, gear- as a way to help people decide between rods. You're right that they don't necessarily tell you everything you might like to know about the rods- they just give you an idea. For more info on deciding between rod series, feel free to give us a call at 866-672-1959.

These latest Z-Axis videos are too short on info. We all know they have a nice green

finish, but how well does the 576 load in close? Is it a better choice than a ZXL 476?

Can you put up some videos showing these rods on the water? I bought a 590 Z-Axis after seeing your YouTube video, but that video was done outside.....
