Good luck, and hold your mouth right! I think you’ll enjoy the 7 wt., when the wind kicks up, and you decide to toss double-streamers;-)
Thanks for bringing the snow. We have been experiencing a very warm fall………….until yesterday. Highs in the mid-30’s all week with another system is supposed to move in Sunday/Monday. Bundle up.
I was there this September and really had a great time. I hope to get back soon.
Enjoy you trip and don’t forget to post some pictures when you get back. 😉Sage couldn’t fix the rod in time
Eric…I hope you have a great trip. Never been but hope to get there soon.
The above quote from your post is just mind boggeling. I know this topic has been beaten to death here on IA but it is simply unfathomable (is that a word) that Sage, the self proclaimed King of the Hill cant get you a rod in time. I can think of 5 different ways they should have and could have had a new rod in your hands for the trip.
Hope you catchem up anyway.

Tim I could not agree more with you on this. One of the first trips I did to the Horn I broke my Winston 6wt right before we left. When I told the customer service people that I was going on a big horn trip they sent me a loaner rod in the same rod to use while they were fixing mine! Why can’t a company like sage do the same? Not to mention Sage’s turn around time on repairs is painfully slow! I guess that is why I dumped Sage from my line up at the shop and picked up Scott instead…

Oh Boy…I can feel my dander raising… Good for you Joel!
I’ve voiced all of these same complaints about Sage, here and other places. If I could get out from under the rods I own right now, I would. Their customer service sucks. Sucks, period. No, sucks-ass might be better. That’s right, sucks-ass.

ps. Long live the horn, love the horn.Sage has one of mine right now and I dont expect to see it for a few months. Luckily I have two equally sufficient rods that fill the void.
I did, however, recently break my new favorite muskie rod, the Scott Pike-Muskie Special. I sent it to Scott and immediately got a response AND was promised by their repair dept that it would return before this weekend – which will probably be my last weekend to fish. Considering that Scott is probably up to their nose in building pre-season orders for this rod, I sure do appreciate them cutting into production in order to allow me to hopelessly fling fur at some fish one last time before 8 months of off-season.
Not only that, but in my return letter I suggested that they ad a 40″ marker on the rod – like they do with 12″ and 20″ on bigger the G2 rods. Their response “no problem.”
Now that is service!
I got a rod back 2 weeks ago that was sent back the 1st week of September. 8 weeks isn’t that bad for me though, considering I may get 1 day a week to fish and it took me 3 months to mail it in to them.
A few years ago I lost a sage in a parking lot at the river. Another guide found it, called the serial # into sage. They called me with his contact info to aid me in getting it back. Probably the best customer service that I have experienced anywhere.
After that I can probably turn a blind eye to taking a while to repair an out of production rod that would not have been broken had it been transported in its tube (and I now always fill in warranty cards).
Not only that, but in my return letter I suggested that they ad a 40″ marker on the rod – like they do with 12″ and 20″ on bigger the G2 rods.
40″??? I would have thought more like 50″.
