Sage Sage XP Series Fly Rods
Sage XP Series Fly Rods 
  
The new XP series redefines performance in a fast action fly rod. Pick one up and you'll notice the lighter weight and narrower profile of the newly designed XP taper. Cast the rod and see how it quickly generates high line speed for long casts, yet still feels lively and active when you're fishing close in. Designed for anglers with quick, fluid casting strokes, the XPs are made with Sage's new Graphite IIIe material, an enhanced version of Graphite III, delivering a more connected feeling throughout the casting stroke. The results are incredible improvement in control, distance and accuracy at all ranges. Simply put, the fast action XPs are easier and more comfortable to cast than any other high-performance fly rod you can find. 

 

Sage Sage TXL Series Fly Rods
Sage TXL Series Fly Rods 
  
Or, in other words, more fun than anyone deserves to have in a pair of waders. Now, through the miracle of Sage's exclusive Generation 5 (G5) Technology, going ultra-light no longer leaves you at the mercy of wind or unexpectedly big fish. G5 Technology, with Modulus Positioning System (MPS), allows Sage to build an amazingly light fly rod, while increasing strength, smoothness and sensitivity to “line feel.” In angling terms, that means you’ll cast better, fish more effectively and enjoy yourself more. Whether you need to make the perfect presentation to that crafty brown who’s seen it all, or simply want to maximize your small stream experience, the TXL redefines the concept of light-line fly fishing. On the subject of redefining the concept, we’re proud to offer the TXL in the revolutionary new 00, or “double-ought,” line weight. This is the lightest fly rod ever made, so they also designed a special, custom line for it as well. TXL Series rods feature ultra-light snake guides, a unique, round tip-top guide and a micro-stripping guide to enhance performance and keep weight to an absolute minimum. A finely crafted, nickel-silver reel seat with a Vera wood insert and six-inch cigar-style grip complement and perfectly balance the golden olive shaft. 

 

Sage Sage SLT Series Fly Rods
Sage SLT Series Fly Rods 
  
Inspired by the classic, medium-fast taper and ultra-smooth action of Sage's popular SP series, SLT rods will delight anglers who prefer a long, more relaxed casting rhythm. Every SLT rod is made with Graphite IIIe, for the high line speed and power you need to feel comfortable in any fishing situation. For the ultimate blend of Elegance, Finesse, & Lightweight-High performance. 

 

Sage Sage TCR Series Fly Rods
Sage TCR Series Fly Rods 
  
To be clear, these rods are not for the casual angler. The TCR Series is designed for skilled casters facing the most demanding conditions—long shots at spooky bones, waking dries into distant steelhead lies, or punching hoppers into the wind on big Western trout rivers. Basically, any situation where technical precision, distance and the ability to cut through wind are at a premium, the TCR will give you the advantage you need.  

 

Sage Sage Xi2 Series Fly Rods
Sage Xi2 Series Fly Rods 
  
Built with Sage's innovative new Generation 5 technology, these rods are at once lighter and more lively than their predecessors. But that's only the beginning. The truly revolutionary benefits of the Xi2 are revealed when you cast it. The Modulus Positioning System (MPS) we developed for these rods provides a startling level of "line feel" throughout the casting stroke. This enhanced ability to feel the rod load allows you to apply power more efficiently. Which, in turn, means tighter loops, better wind penetration and more distance. Xi2 Series rods also feature new, lower profile, oversized guides and a round tip-top guide to reduce friction, as well as an improved, saltwater-safe reel seat. No matter which saltwater challenges you face—from bonefish to billfish—the Xi2 lets you concentrate on the fish instead of your casting. That's fishability. Test cast the new Xi2. We think you'll see why we consider it the finest saltwater fly rod ever made. 

 

Sage Sage VT2 Series Fly Rod
Sage VT2 Series Fly Rod 
  
The new VT2 Series rods are designed for maximum versatility, smooth performance and great value. Throughout the entire line, Sage created a taper and action that best fits each specific line weight. VT2 Series rods provide a light, sensitive feel and an incredibly smooth power curve for faster line speed and easier casting. They also feature a gorgeous "blue ribbon" blue finish, titanium anodized aluminum reel seat hardware and British-made, hard chrome-plated guides. 

 

Sage Sage Two-Handed Series Fly Rods
Sage Two-Handed Series Fly Rods 
  
From the rumbling, glacial rivers of the Pacific Northwest to Quebec, Iceland or Russia, one fact is a constant: you will have to cover a lot of water. Our two-handed rods are designed to make long casts and powerful mends easier and more efficient. In other words, you'll spend more time fishing effectively and less time stripping line, false casting and snagging streamside brush. We also understand that long casts mean nothing without proper line control, which is why our two-handed rods are without equal when it comes to making precise mends in complex currents. And because you will probably make more than a few casts between fish-not that you're counting-the light, lively feel of a Sage two-hander makes each cast and swing a pleasure. Once you try one of our traditional spey-action tapers or faster, European-style rods, you'll wonder how you ever fished with a single-hander-or any other two-hander, for that matter. 

 

Sage Sage Fli Series Fly Rods
Sage Fli Series Fly Rods 
  
Designed with the analysis methods Sage developed for G5 Technology, the FLi Series rods combine a fast-action taper with an incredibly smooth power curve. Which means you’ll be able to generate high line speed and still feel the rod loading for maximum power transfer and efficiency. The result? You’ll naturally and intuitively cast better when the pressure’s on. FLi Series rods are built with a wider-diameter, thin-walled blank construction for fast recovery and lighter weight, and feature resin-impregnated wood reel seat inserts, Britishmade snake guides and high-grade Portuguese cork grips. Just what you’d expect from a Sage Rod. 

 

Sage Sage Launch Series Fly Rods
Sage Launch Series Fly Rods 
  
Sage learned quickly that the key to better casting is the ability to feel the rod load. So when they designed the new Launch Series rods, applied what they’ve learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. Loosely translated, that means Launch Series rods provide an exceptional level of line connection or feel, allowing anglers of all abilities to cast better and more easily. And because they’re Sage rods, every Launch Series rod is hand built on Bainbridge Island with wood reel seat inserts, chromeplated snake guides and high-grade Portuguese cork grips. 

 

Sage Sage Spin Series Fly Rods
Sage Spin Series Fly Rods 
  
The Spinning Series rods are designed for anglers who like to carry a back-up rod when a storm's a-brewing and conditions make it physically impossible to fly fish. A real pleasure to cast, Sage's Spin rods are made from Graphite III and offer fast action, smooth performance, and a light, sensitive tip. When fly rods prove ineffective, try Sage's Spinning Series.
