The Z-axis is a nice rod, that is well balanced between castability and fishability. It's got a smooth progressive action and will suit almost anyones needs providing you get the right weight and model that will match your purpose, and it better.........considering how much they are ;D

How is it possible to get lighter than the 3 11/16 Oz that my Sage XP 6wt 9"6" weighs?  I was told that the Z-Axis was the replacement for the XP and I agree.  Not a lot of difference between the two when I compared.  Not sure on the price though as I paid a bundle for my XPs (over $800) 6-8 years ago.
