Sage screwed up the 590 model of the One. It was at least a 5.5 weight and probably a 6. I own the 690 and love it. When I test cast the 590 I double checked that I had a 590 in my hand and not a 690. Since the 9' 5 is such an important rod configuration, my guess is that Sage probably nailed the X in that config. They also have the Radian and Zenith (and successors) as really excellent competitors.

Its called fast!!!! If a five can't outrun a six it is not fast. Gotcha ya though....691 Bolt is a sweet rod!

Actually the One 590 was not fast, it was stiff. Fast should refer to how quickly the taper goes from soft to stiff; tip to butt. The One wasn't particularly fast in that sense. But it was just too stiff overall to load with a 5wt or even 5.5 weight line.
