Author: David Estrada (dde_95746@yahoo.com) I own a 570-3 Sage Gear rod. It came in handy one day on the Sea of Cortez. For whatever reason, the Dorado wouldn\'t key in on flies. I switched to my Sage Gear rod and fished Sardina. The rod saved the day! My 570-3 has plenty of backbone. I hooked into a small Pacific Sailfish (I\'m guessing 85 pounds). Unfortunately, it threw the hook.
