This is from my husband...
His Sage rod cost $695.00
His Sage reel cost $700.00
He has 4 Sage rods and 2 Sage reels and the others are Lampson reels, they are also very $$$ So my thoughts are if you both enjoy giving to each other this is a wonderful gift for your sweetie to give to you. My husband has not bought any of his rods or reels or guns. He tells me what he would like and I go off looking till I find the best price. I love that way of giving what each other really enjoy. This is all providing you can afford your wants. Right now things are snug so we don't oogle at things we can not afford.
OOPS edit...I have 6 Featherweights (one white) I love them all but my favorite one is my first one her name is Abby 1934 she is so sweet!
