You might be right. I just took a look at the Sage web site and the VXP rod and it is cheaper than I paid for my XP but it is hard to tell if it is the same rod.
The new Accel will replace the VXP. Maybe that's what you heard? Or the person passing the info along misunderstood.
Not sure how well the XP will sell these days. Sage reintroduced it(through Cabelas?) a number of years ago, and I don't believe it was a big seller. Great rods though. I have 4, and the 9' 5wt has been my go to trout rod for several years.
