Reviews

  1. Sage 490-4 X: Very light in hand, the 490-4 X needs a slightly heavier line with a long head, like the Rio Gold, to load into the mid section and smooth out the casting action. Stiffer than most rods in the series, the 490-4 flex has some imperfections in its casting profile that translate to a slightly lumpy feel when casting with a light line, like the Rio Perception. This rod will catch every fish In the river, but I preferred the pure casting feel of the 486-4 and 590-4 X.

    Lines: The Rio Gold is by far my favorite line on this rod.

  2. Faster and more off the tip than the 486. It wasn’t quite as “touchy” as I like my 4 weights to be and it didn’t have the magic wand feel that the 590 has, but overall a very impressive fast 4 weight. This is the rod in the lineup for the guys who are really bummed out about the One rod going away. Not quite as fast as the One 490, but more One-like than the other models. It needs a slightly heavier line but not a 5 weight.
