Sage 389-4 Light Line questions

Anyone know if Sage has released the old Sage 389-4 LL rod under the name of
Classic?
I've seen at least two references to this on Ebay where they are on sale, but couldn't find anything about it on the Sage web site.

Ebay quote: "Every year Sage picks one of it's "stand out" models from years gone by, and produces a special, limited edition run, of collector grade rods, to commemorate a real all-star in their line-up.
There were only 500 of these limited-edition, serial numbered rods produced"

Ebay quote II: "Sage reintroduced this "Classic" series rod to commemorate the beloved LL series that disappeared almost 8 years ago!"

Having a 490-4 LL and just loving it, I'm very interested in getting one of those 389-4 LL.
IMHO it is one of the best graphite dry fly rods ever made for small stream fishing.

Can it be that someone is trying to sell the VPS Light Series under the pretention that it is the 389-4 LL rod?
Why couldn't I find anything on this at the Sage web site?

Yes they did, Walter posted on it sometime last April/May timeframe.

I'm glad you gave it a chance. It does tend to take a while to get used to, but once there and one's hooked.

Ah, but this is not like the other Sage rods that you build your opinion on.
Not the very stiff, totally insensitive, good for nothing (at least not fishing) casting machines

There's nothing like a hexagonal piece of bamboo with a reel attached to it when it comes to keeping a fly fisherman happy for a while. Is this another of Jennifer Ohlsson's rod series?, or just the individually fitted cane rod that only an assistant professor; or whatever it was, can afford?

Well, the Tom Moran is a delicious little rod which has just about all the casting qualities one can wish for.
However, since it was quite expensive and also quite rare I'm trying not to use it too often. Some might reason that it was built to be used and that it should be used, but if used sparingly it will last longer.
A graphite rod on the other hand is more of a use it every day rod.
You never got to try it, did you?
Perhaps if you hadn't fished with the Garrisson replica all evening you might have had some time to try the Moran rod. Or was it so that I was insensitive enough not to offer it?
Anyway, you should consider this Sage as a replacement for you busted Thomas

Irony? Is there such a smiley for irony??

I have several rods that I won't be fishing again too, only I don't think priceless is description enough for those.
