The Z-AXIS Fly Rod! Mr. Wizard is back and talk about pressure! You know the design team at Sage was sweating some serious bullets when they looked to replace the XP. For more than six years the XP fly rod series has been the industry standard by which fast action fly rods are measured and now it has been replaced. Enter the Z-Axis. We know you’re going to be completely awed by this Sage fly rod series! These rods are lighter and although they generate the fastest line speed of any fly rod, are easier to cast (if that is possible) than the XP models. The added advantage of the extreme line speed is accuracy and control of your fly. If you want to talk trackability…You are going hear more cliches than you can shake a stick at (we couldn’t resist just one) about this rod series but just remember, if you want the lightest, most accurate fly rod on market, then reach for the Z-Axis. As Sage says it in one word “Magic”. To purchase this rod go to: www.flyfishingoutfitters.com

The z-axis is the best rod I ever casted this things a canon!!
The Helios is good, but it is is too hard, and has a parabolic action that makes practical fishing a somewhat weird experience.
The Z-axis has a adeeper action that actually produces faster linespeed than rods made with yesterdays technology.
The stiffness of the Helios helps poorer casters with a somewhat brutal/crude casting style. (Same goes for casters that claim that the XP is better than the Z-axis. They can’t be very good casters !)
He is holding the reel to the side bcause the line doesn’t slide along the blank at the forward cast. The line does’t drag as mutch when it gets dirty after fishing for awhile. It becomes a habbit.
the helios is about 100 dollars more
Helios does not hold a flame to the z-axis!!!
“They are sportscars, surgical instruments that are fun.” A bit of hyperbole and rhetoric, finely woven together, wouldn’t you say? Aristotle would be impressed, though. Fluff aside, let the consumer be the judge.
The Z – Axis is better than the XP , The 9ft #5 is something special from Sage.
Sage are the best rods on the planet.
I let my bro-in-law borrow my 5 weight Z-Axis. He didn’t want to give it back.
Out of curiosity, why do you hold the fly rod out to the side when you cast? Seems like it would be easier and more comftorable casting if you held the rod so that the reel sits straight down and not off to the side….
I cast one yesterday and he is right. I was a skeptic but now a convert. Just have to get a second mortage to afford one.
Awesome Video, Lots of information!
I like the Z-Axis, but the ZXL is worth a look
