When I cast my Launch in the car park at the fishing shop it was the first time I'd cast a fly rod for well over 20 years. I'm lucky to be able to get out and fish a lot, and I practise casting several times a week. At the time of writing I have been flyfishing for around 18 months, and casting for a few months longer. I also thought I'd talk a bit about choosing your first fly rod, because I didn't find a lot on the web when I was first looking.įirst I should perhaps say a little about myself, to give some context for the review. This is a hands-on review, based on over 18 months experience with the rod.
The Launch is Sage's entry level fly rod, part of their Value series which also includes the FLi and VT2.
