This is also an extremely versatile (hence the "V" in the name of the series) group of blanks. Each size blank has a taper specifically matched to the line weight — a smooth, progressive taper in the lower weights for delicate presentations, and a faster, more powerful action in the higher weights for heavier–duty applications. Color: metallic kingfisher blue. Available in a range of lengths from 7′9″ to 9′ and weights 3 to 9. Other Details: VT2 Series blanks are also available in rod kits with a choice of reel seat and component combinations. See our rod kit section. If expedited or international shipping is required, a shipping surcharge may be added during processing; please ask for a shipping quote.

A true work of art. There is however, no plugs for the male ferrule end??

The rods cast so smooth. The finish is as you would expect from a sage blank... perfect. My only qualm with the blank is that Sage puts their logo on the blank where all can see it. I prefer to keep my rods logo free with just some handwritten text to describe the rod. Royal blue thread matches well without CP. Silver trim looks good on the ferrule wraps.

Berglund (moobear@netzero.com) from Rockford, IL US The 5wt VT2 I built is certainly a pretty rod and works okay - but the tip is a bit firmer than my preference. I built a 5wt Batson Rainshadow in olympic green to replace it. It is no less attractive, the taper works better for me and it costs around half that of the VT2. Now I've got to find someone who really wants a Sage... Was this review helpful to you?
