Feeler: Sage Z-Axis 7wt Switch Custom Build and Hardy Bougle MkVII

**Happy Fun Ball** · 07-23-2012, 11:28 AM

Regretfully thinking of selling my Sage Z-Axis 7wt, 11' switch rod and my Hardy Bougle MkVII. Before I start posting stuff up on various FF sites I thought I would check here first for any interest. I really wish I had more time to enjoy both of these, but limited time and no rivers suitable to use them close by is leading me towards selling them. The MkVII would come with backing and spey line (have to confirm gr later). Hit me up if you might be interested in either of these. Would like to sell together as the reel/line is dialed in for this rod.

Pretty sure that's exactly what I'm rockin' on it.

Guy I bought it from rec'd a 480 skagit short. Seems like the rod has a good range of lines. Now I gotta find one cheap...

Sexy set up!

480's on the heavy side, especially once you add a tip and heavy fly. Stick with the 425...

Word. Another thought is how I'll be fishing it. Both swinging and indicator fishing for winter chrome. Good thing I've got 2 spools.

Here are my recs, for indo fishing a 7/8 Rio Switch is pretty nice or a 9/10 Salmon Steelhead taper, some folks say they don't throw junk that well, I say use more bottom hand.

Of course I want it. Have a 7wt. Cant justify 2. Someone will pick it up.

Any interest? I'm going to start parting things out to Ebay pretty soon. Rod sells for ~$700 (custom build so I've upgraded reel seat, guides, cork, etc), Reel ~$475, Line ~$60, Travel Tube ~$90. Whole set up used less than five times. I'd rather give a mag a deal on the whole setup rather than piece it out.

Pictures of the whole set up will be posted later today/tonight.
