Sage Fly Rod
Fly rod problem.......?

Ok then here goes, my son wants to start fly fishing for rainbows on my local still water.I took him and let him used my sage 690 z-axis (thought i wasnt going to see it again) any way now that he has been he wants to go more often so i need to get him a cheap rod (not too cheap) i have figured he needs a 7wt about 9-10 feet with a middle to tip action, the makes i w as think about are; reddington, sharpes of aberdeen, orvis western 2 and maybe diawa any advice would be helpful thanks.
i think pheasant tail has got it in one and the sage launch seems very appealling i would be grateful if any one else could verify that this a a good choice

I know the dilemma..........my daughter loves my Granger Victory bamboo rod !!
Here's a few rods that are reasonably priced that should fill the bill nicely for your son: (I bought my daughter the Sage Launch and she really likes it (I do, too).

Sage Launch: - medium fast action, and it's a Sage - $175
9' 6wt = 2 pc or 4 pc - 7wt = 4pc only

Fenwick HMG - Old reliable, medium fast action,still a very good rod - $179 9'6wt = 2 or 4 pc, 7 wt = 2 pc only

Echo Classic - I cast one of these and they are very smooth
$140 9'6wt or 7 wt = 4 pc

St. Croix Triumph - medium fast action, but abit "clunky" and heavy (at least to me) $110 9' 6wt = 2 or 4 pc, 9'7wt = 4pc

Redington Redfly2 - Fast action (but not extreme), crisp feel
$120 9'6wt = 2 or 4 pc, 7wt is made to 9'6" / 4pc

Orvis - Clearwater - $129, this is Orvis's starter rod, available
in a variety of "flex-points" from medium to fast action. Not too
shabby, but I think the Power Matrix ($265) is a much better rod.
