Sure thing, Justin.  I'm partial to the feel of the St.Croix and hubby
prefers Sage.  St.Croix feels softer and probably doesn't cast as far as the
stiffer Sage so a lot depends on what you personally like to cast.  I love
fishing those little mountain streams a lot so the St.Croix is perfect.

Subject: Okuma Sierra Reels and St. Croix rods


I took my friend to Kauffman's today to look at reels.  They had the
Pflueger at low end then from there they jumped right to the ross Cimmaron.
So the cost range was from $39.00 to $150.00 (exact prices i can't recall).
Anyway, I asked about the Okuma Sierra and they said no way.  I wanted to
check one out because I know many of you online have said good things about
the reels.  A few Questions:

Can these reels stand up to Steelhead and Coho Salmon?  Is it an actual Disk
Drag?
Why are they so inexpensive?

I also remember someone online said they could get them for $28.00  Can you
pass on that price to the rest of us?  If so I'll Buy a few from you  (3-5)

I also read an something from a custom rod Builder.  His opinion is that St.
Croix will be right up there with sage or even surpass them in the near
future.  I think I'm gonna have one made up and see what all the fuss is.
All I've heard is great things about St. Croix.  The website to the guy who
makes them is..   www.performanceflyrods.com

Has anyone had the chance to pick up a sage cast it then pick up an upper
end St. Croix and been able to tell the difference?

Your info. would be greatly appreciated
