Here’s a good quality rod that won’t cost you too much, medium fast action, comes in 7′ #3, the perfect gear for small streams! Nicely made in Bainbridge Island, it’s a real Sage rod not a chinese made one… and for that price it deserves to come under the Xmas tree! The Approach comes in several length (7, 8.6, 9) and lines from #3 to #9. If you’re a beginner it’s serious enough you’ll enjoy it for several years and of you need a second or a third rod, it’s the one you want. It’s hard to get more for that kind of money.
