Hey guys –
I will not be at the Fly Fishing Retailer Show this year due to my little sister getting married that weekend. However, I am still in the PR loop, so I thought I’d share a few products with you as I get word. I’m not going to make any effort to include every new product: there’s simply too much work there, so don’t think this is going to be comprehensive.
(I am going to pop down one more post so we have a white background for these nice product shots).

Good thing Sage reintroduced the XP series. What I don’t liked with their V-series was that the cosmetics were sub-standard. Not sure how the VXP really looks like from close in, but I hope it’s better than the previous V-series. The price is right at $500.
Tibor are nice reels, their price is ouch though…
The new glass rods from Scott looks great! Hope to cast one soon.
Saw all the new Far Bank stuff today. Some pretty awesome stuff. Looked at the new Tibor a little bit too.
Zach,
The Sage logo is a fly. Redington also has a new logo as well. It is two mountain peaks divided by a river going down to a lake.-Mike
The first and in my view most important was hiring Tim Pommer. Seriously; this counts as product news, because Tim is a really good angler who is going to make a difference for them by putting a lot of real-world fishing expertise in the driver’s seat of product design. With Bruce Richards’ retirement, SA needed to reload and this does that.

I paid him to say that.
Im holding my breath for the 389 (V)LL in a 4 piece. The VPS Lights didn’t really have the softness or light weight of comparable size LL’s.
Yeah, the prices of lines have risen too radically.
Price around $30-45 for a good line is what we need.Thanks for the NRX shots Zach.
Um….. jeez the cosmetics are horrid…About the Scott F2:
Will they offer rods with cap & ring or even better two reel rings?According to Scott, the “F2 825/4 and 774/3 get the uplocks, while everything else will be fitted with a single slide band.”

$500.00 range?….i’m still not there!….
Too rich for my blood too, but I still think it’s a lot better than the $700-800 rods that are becoming the norm for many of the major companies. In my opinion, a top-end, performance rod from an American company in that price range is a very respectable offering in today’s market.
