Title: RE: Lines and Reel Recommendation for Sage Z-Axis 8110-4
Post by: Tee on September 28, 2009, 07:39:53 PM

I've just recently purchased Sage Z Axis 8110 switch rod. Just wondering if anybody has any idea on line and reel that may go well with the rod. Below is the conditions for your consideration:

- I am a very new two-hand caster. So, I need lines that will allow casting with ease and minimum effort for both single and two-hand casts,
- I am looking for multi-tip type of lines (if they are available),
- For the reel, good drag, light weight, and budget around CAD $350.

I am quite excited having obtained this rod and looking forward to trying it out on the flow.

Many thanks for the info and help.
