Scott Session 9'5wt
Hey Dave, I have casted the 9' 5WT session. Definitely would not call it "fast." More Medium-Fast. It is a nice rod though. Although, I will say that I casted the 9' 5WT Centric afterwards. I found the Centric to be light years ahead of the Session. To the point where I turned to the guy at the fly shop and went "I'm not sure I could justify the price tag on the session when the Centric is 'only' $200 more." Turns out it is more like $270.
A New One
Found this on the web from 1838 https://finandflame.com/voices-from-the-past-scarf-joint-fly-rods-1838/ "The top piece of a fly-rod ought never to be joined to the next lower length by a socket, but ought to be neatly fitted to it by a ‘scare’ and tied on when at the water-side with a piece of well-waxed twine—an operation which an angler who has the use of his fingers will perform in two minutes."
Sage Sonic 9’6” 5wt reviews
I did notice a bit of a difference between the two, with the 691 (fighting butt) feeling and swinging lighter for some reason. The 691 seemed to have more power then the 690, when I double hauled the rods to compare them. I believe both rods would take care of most all of someone's needs for larger dry flies, hopper droppers and streamers.
