I have decided to pull the trigger on a Sage Trout LL, but I’m having real difficulties deciding between the 389-4 and the 490-4. There are some relatively big wild browns in my local river 6-7lb and I’m unsure if fighting that size angry trout is feasible on the 389-4 as I think it’s important to be as kind and gentle with the fish in hopes that they all come away from the experience non the worse for wear. In an ideal world I’d get them both but my wife would kill me😂
@@marshallcutchin5634 Deep down I know you’re right, but the 389-4 has a curtain alluring draw to it. Perhaps it’s the history behind it , the quality of the original that does it. Think I might have to start working some overtime at work and get them both😂

Both great rods, but the 490 is probably the better choice for those browns. :)
