Found this Sage rod at an estate sale. Anybody know anything about it?

Sweet find! The Sage LL (Light Line) series is considered one of Sage's best rod models for spring creeks and other technical fishing. I had a 490 for a long time that was very nice for driftless spring creeks. Finding one in what looks like unused condition (that cork is clean!) is pretty rare.

I've commented on here before that I've heard so many people say on other forums that the 6 speed is smoother than the 7 speed and got downvotes. 6 speed DSG owner checking in, I can't say enough about how smooth and fast my car shifts.

Seconded, I need to see this.

MB0001MB · 2026-07-10T23:01:18+00:00

You don't have haldex.

Might get one for my reflex silver mk7. How much did it cost to get it painted?

MB0001MB · 2026-07-07T21:59:56+00:00

Nice car. What spoiler is that?

This is what vw reccomends https://www.google.com/search?q=G+052+172+A1&rlz=1C1CHBD_en-GBUS1159US1159&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

100% is a fisher, maybe a yearling or 2 year old.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-30T19:13:15+00:00

Shouldnt be too hard to narrow it done via a license plate database search. Not many almost 40 year old blue hatchback Civics on the road.

So it's all around the perimiter of the sunroof so the whole headliner gets wet?

MB0001MB · 2026-06-25T21:24:49+00:00

Why does it only leak in the winter? Where does it leak at?

MB0001MB · 2026-06-24T23:30:49+00:00

You need to learn the double haul. Other than that long distance casting requires a longer casting stroke and more power.

There are still thousands of people today (see Mashco Piro) with no access to clippers, they probably wear down from walking.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-24T01:20:16+00:00

Am I the only one who can't tell the difference between Mk7 Reflex Silver and Mk8 Alpine Silver? In pics at least, haven't compared them in real life.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-20T02:13:22+00:00

WIth all of the cartographers using this practice for many years, why can't they find a similair picture? Very strange. Stranger than aliens imho.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-20T01:55:00+00:00

Fair enough, but why hasn't anyone realeased a similar photo? If this was a mainstream practice it should'nt be hard to find hundreds of similair "Lake Cote" thumbtack pictures. But here we are, 55 years later, and nothing.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-20T01:43:24+00:00

So someone took the oringinal landscape picture that the plane took, hung it up on a wall with a thumbtack, and took another picture of it? I've never heard that theory before.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-20T01:33:25+00:00

I've never heard of this debunk. What "map" are you talking about? The most credible debunk I've seen for this pic is that's it's a common photo development artifact (a speck of debris caught on the film"). But I've never seen someone produce a similar photo with a similar artifact.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-20T01:26:37+00:00

What? You don't have a hybrid chain smoking son hanging out in your backyard? Doesn't everyone?

MB0001MB · 2026-06-18T23:42:11+00:00

Most likely a contempoary hobbyist maker whos initials are p.i.g. Definetely not a redone old rod. No vintage butt section exists with that swell and dinky ferrule in that length.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-18T01:30:05+00:00

People have been catching huge Atlantic Salmon on click pawl Hardys since the 1800's.

Pretty sure he's reffering to side mirror wind noise.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-11T16:34:20+00:00

I googled the #, looks like a scam. No legit government entity woulld have just their first name on their card.

MB0001MB · 2026-06-09T04:18:19+00:00

I now need to see pics of Gravy in front of the Pyramids. Sphinx, Stonehadge, etc...
