Sagebrush uses really heavy duty zippers that are waterproof too! I think it is called the t-zip! You only need to lubricate it once in a while.

I have brought it to NZ and taken a few falls. My dslr is still dry and clean.

I picked up a 10′ 5wt XP and liked it very much. I caught a trophy with the same rod doing czech nymphing.

The Z-axis is really popular but the Sage 99 is another popular option. My guide in NZ likes the 99 best amongst the 3.

Hi,

I traveled to NZ a couple of times and fished around Rotorua. It is really an awesome place. Because of my limited time there, I got myself a guide from Rod and Reel in Auckland. The guide put my wife and I onto many good fish.

Since you got some time there, you would have many opportunity to explore. The Kiwis are really helpful and friendly, unless you are wearing a Gold and Green rugby jersey. 😛 There isn’t any dangerous snake or bear but just be a little more sensitive when the All Blacks lose. Rugby is a religion there *some say that it is an understatement” …. 😛

I would be bringing a friend to North Island in March next year. It would be his 1st time fly fishing for trout. Hopefully I would be able to make the trip fruitful for him too.

Cheers!
