Paired with a Ross Evolution LTX reel this is a fantastic combo for trout. I use it for dries, nymphing, and smaller streamers.

So far I've only been able to cast the Sonic at our club casting pond but it casts like a dream. I was looking for a rod with faster action and the Sonic hit the mark. I'm coming from casting a more moderate action rod (vintage Sage LL) and the power in the Sonic is unbelieveable. It feels crisp and very balanced. I paired it with a Lamson Guru S. Thanks Reelflyrod for all the help you provided while naviagting my new fly rod and reel decision process.

The Sage Sonic is truly one of best rods that I have fished. Very close to the Z Axis back in the day, but with a crisper feel and action. Two Thumbs up.

Received this rod last weekend. It was everything as advertised to be and more. I’ve never been more accurate and had better range in my casting. Had 5 fish in the net within an hour. Shipping and service from ReelFlyRod was exceptional as always. Far and above the best rod I have ever owned.

This is a great all purpose rod. I have thrown smaller streamers on smaller rivers, dry flies everywhere and run nymph rigs. Great rod.
