I am impressed with every pen I've used in Uni-ball's Sigo series. Apparently I have the older DX model, rather than the newer UM-151, but I believe I've used the UM-151 as well.
I prefer the 0.38 size, as it fits my writing style well. The main difference between this pen and the Signo RT is that the DX is a stick pen, and the RT is retractable. This winner is available in several colors and in 0.28, 0.38, and 0.50 widths.
Summary: The Zebra Sarasa Clip (0.4) is one of my top three favorite gel pens.

This was a sleeper pen for me. For years I wasn't aware of its existence. And even when I learned about it (thanks, Brad!), I didn't jump on it right away for whatever reason. Maybe I was just so happy with my Uni-ball Signos and Pilot Hi-Tec-Cs. I'm not sure. But this pen is a great writer. I've used both the gray and the blue-black versions. If I were ever stranded on a dessert island (notice I said "dessert" and not "desert" — who would ever want to be stranded on a desert island?!), I would be perfectly happy documenting my delectable experience with one of the blue-blacks.
Initially, I wasn't impressed with the unusual clip. However, after using it for a while, I've found that it doesn't get in the way. In fact, this is one of the few pens that I can attach to a Field Notes size notebook without having to worry about snapping the clip.
This beautiful baby is available in a variety of sizes and colors.
