I have a basically brand new Sage xi2 9wt. I blew up 3 out of 4 sections last year (including the grip section) in a kayak+wave incident and Sage replaced the sections for me.
The grip is new and unspoiled by greasy hands and the rest of the rod is totally cherry – I have not cast the rod since receiving it back from Sage. Includes sock and rod tube.
I can send pics if you want, but just imagine a brand new xi2 9wt and that is the picture I would send you.
