I jest got meh 476XP back with two new tips. I''ll be inflicting damage on the bushes come Thursday or Friday. I'd go out now, but I was just at the Doc. & he's telling me to lay low until I can breathe again.
At least I have a couple days to find a reel with 4wt. line on it.

you need a reel with 4wt line on it? I can help you out.

[Salmotrutta]

Thanks. I kinda meant if I can find it in all my shit. I think it's still attached to the Orvis rod I broke last fall. I'll know when I locate the rod I guess.

Sage wanted me to fish their rods. Period. I told them when a tip breaks I have to resort to Orvis. Next thing you know I have a spare tip for nutin'.
This was a while back. You know- when they listened to us, closed up in the afternoon to go Steelheading & liked a good kegger.
I'll tell you how long ago it was. I fished every day. I hope heaven is like those days.

I don't know what he did to get 2 tips, but I sure as shit am going to find out.

Last Summer I got a 10 year old Sage SP tip fixed in less than 2 weeks. So Sage has done good by me.

This whole story sounds like bullshit. I work for SAGE third tier. Care to post up them two free tips, or is this a replay of the fox that didn't get away.

I got the extra tip before that program started. Like 9 years ago when most of you were in grade school. All I can say is I talked with someone out there & they offered an extra tip so I could continue to fish their rods if a breakage occurred.
If you don't like it too bad. It's a deal between Sage & myself.
