So looking for a new 4wt. I have spent the past 2 months casting just about everything I can get my hands on. Narrowed it down to either the Sage Z-axis or the G.Loomis Streamdance GLX. Anyone have any recommendations? The GLX felt a little better for shorter casts but the Z-axis was on point for those far casts. Anyone with either of these rods that have any likes/dislikes about the it?

Hard to go wrong either way Back to top mike-c Newbie Joined: Jan 20, 2004 Posts: 19 Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 2:08 pm    Post subject: Hi, Here is a link to an article that may help you with your decision: http://www.yellowstoneangler.com/ FlyRodComparisonAlbrightG.LoomisOrvisSageScott TempleForkThomasThomasTomMorganRodsmithsR.L. Winstonrodtesting.asp If the full link doesn't work, just go to www.yellowstoneangler.com and look in the article section under '5-weight shoot-out'. Two of the rods they compare are the one's you are considering (but in 5 wt, not 4). If you have cast and like both, you may want to consider such things as the warranty. I recently got the loomis 4 wt GLX HLS, but have not yet fished it. Good luck and enjoy!
