Sage Website Guide Sizing has Gone!!

[168bill]

Until this month Sage had the guide spacings/sizings listed on their website for all of their models, sadly this has now gone.

I have mailed them through the website 3 times so far, but have not yet received a response.

Does anyone happen to have their recommendations for a Sage 690-4 XP?

I should have written them down when they were there, but unfortunately never got round to it and am now regretting my idleness.

you can get some from the guides n blanks site:

Thanks J,

I tried them already and they don't have anything for a 9' 6wt 4 piece Sage XP.

Mailed them and they were very helpful, but pointed out what I already knew about the Sage website. But they did offer me standard spacings and sizings for this size/weight, which was much appreciated but not what I was really looking for as I already had similar.

I was impressed to get such a detailed and helpful response though, which will ensure that I continue to buy from them.

According to my calculations, try this. If you want the first guide to be 4.5 inches from the tip :

Tip 0
1st 4 1/2
2nd 10
3rd 16
4th 22 1/2
5th 30 1/2
6th 38 1/2
7th 48
8th 58
9th 68 1/2
10th S 80
11th S 92 1/2

If you want it 4 inches from tip to first guide:

tip 0 inches
4 inches
9 inches
14 1/2 inches
20 1/2 inches
28 inches
35 1/2 inches
44 1/2 inches
54 inches
64 inches
75 inches
87 inches




Shoff tackle may also be able to help with sizes. But these spaces work out for 2 strippers, trying a 12 and a 10. Distances are from the tip. Variation can be made for position of joins and butt wraps on these.

I took these from the Sage website last year. These were the suggested spacings for both a 9' #4 SLT and a 9' #7 XP. The size of the rings being the only difference. No doubt your 6 weight would have been the same.

3 9/16
7 15/16
13 3/16
19 1/4
27 1/4
35 11/16
44 11/16
54 1/8
65 7/16
76 11/16

Many thanks guys, this is exactly what I was after.

Very much appreciated. Hope I can return the compliment sometime.

After my third email through their website, I just got a reply from Sage which included a pdf file with the guide spacings for all Sage XP blanks.

Basically it is an extract from the pages that used to be available on the website.

Anyway, I have posted it here in case it is of help to anyones else:

That's wierd, it is transposing the URL

What I am typing in is b-r-o-d-d-i-c-k and that's what I see, but when I submit it, it gets transposed to 'brodthingy'. The rest of the URL either side of this is correct.

It does it in preview mode too.

I have to type it as above to stop it getting transposed.

Bizarre

I'm new to the forum, so if anyone has seen similar and knows a workaround, please let me know.

[ScottRods]

it's not wierd it's the moderators software preventing rude words. It replaces them.

[168bill]

Ahhhhh.........that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

But I never knew the appartments I live in were named after a rude word

Hopefully there is an exceptions file that can be updated accordingly, or else I will never be able to post anything else into these forums, as that is the only webspace that I have access to.

Many thanks for the link - I'll file them away for future reference.

I know, it's a bit of a pain.
