由 Will Hovarter The Sage Fly Rod CP3113M appears to be a model designation for a Sage fly fishing rod. Here’s what the code likely breaks down to:
– CP – Could indicate a specific series or technology (e.g., “Crosswater Pulse,” “Circular Profile,” or a custom/prototype designation).
– 3113 – Likely denotes the rod’s length (11′ 3″) and weight (3-weight).
– M – May stand for “Medium” action, though Sage typically uses terms like “Fast,” “Moderate,” or “Progressive.”
Possible Uses:
– Euro Nymphing/Technical Fishing – An 11′ 3″ 3-weight rod is ideal for tight-line nymphing techniques, offering reach and sensitivity for detecting subtle strikes.
– Delicate Dry Fly Presentations – The light line weight suggests finesse for small streams or selective trout.
Confirming Details:
Since this isn’t a current production model (Sage’s lineup includes rods like X, R8 Core, Trout LL, etc.), it might be:
1. A Custom/Prototype – Some Sage rods are built for specific guides or events.
2. An Older/Discontinued Model – Check archives like the Sage ESN (Euro Nymphing) series, which had similar long, light rods.
3. Mislabeled – Verify if it’s a Sage CIRCA (slow-action) or SAGE PULSE (fast-action) rod.
Action & Performance:
If “M” means moderate action, expect a softer flex ideal for delicate presentations but less suited for heavy wind or large flies.
Recommendations:
– Contact Sage Customer Service with the serial number for exact specs.
– Check with Fly Fishing Forums (e.g., Reddit’s r/flyfishing or The Fiberglass Manifesto) for niche knowledge.
