David, I have a brand new never even lined 6wt Sage One Switch rod, 11'6" that I purchased by mistake. I took it out and looked at it once and realized it was not what I wanted.

Would sell for $550.00 and I would pay for the shipping.

I really want a 4 wt but a 5 wt would be considered, I not want a 6 wt or 5/6wt .... I am looking to extend my single hand rod's spey casting ability while I fish some larger streams....Bill C who recently passed was correct that my 5wt ONE with a Grand Line (he sold me at Kiene's) and it 9'6" length (which he advised me to get) is excellent at spey casting.

That said I appreciate the PMs

Specifically I would like a Sage, Ross Reach, or beulah Platinum (othere beulahs are too soft for me), I prefer fast action rods. I am in no urry cuz I can spey cast my single hand 30 to 40 ft which works .....

Hope this info helps those with rods they want to sell, the PMs are great but not what I am looking for so I added this info

David,

I love my 5 wt Z-Axis switch for for trout. I use a Rio Atlantic Steelhead line on it and it overhead and roll casts great (even does two handed spey casts to some degree). I use the same rod with 28 ft. of LC13 when fishing for shad from a boat to get down deep.

Thanks! Both Aron and Frank R have a 4wt One Switch I got to cast Frank's and it was amazing ....I am tempted by the 6110-4 Z axis switch but this is too close to my 6126-4, if only funds were not an issue.

The 5110-4 Z-Axis is a sweet rod. It spey casts like a dream with a 400 grain Flight. Bruce had a 6110-4 and he didn't like it as much as the 5110-4. If I didn't have the 5110-4 I'd probably get a One 4116-4.

Anyone reading this and has access to a one 4116_4 I will barter 850$ in automotive repairs for the rod ... Aka guides that get these at guide deals.
