    Following the recent carp topic trend, I thought I would share this picture. The Sage TXL-F 000710-4 is not a toy, this rod has a lot of hidden power in it.  Got this guy before opening the shop yesterday. Not only was it on a 000wt., it was my 200th landed on the year.

    I would think landing a carp on a 000 wt would not be anywhere near as difficult as casting a decent carp fly on a 000 wt.

    Nice.  How long did it take you to land it?

    Maybe 5 minutes, if that.

    Michael –

    Are you getting any butt on the fish at all or are you basically just pointing the rod at it and fighting him off the reel?

    Zach,

    I use the butt section of the rod to fight the fish. I do palm the reel while fighting the fish though too. But most of the pressue is applied by the rod.
