DESIGNED WITH INTENTION At Sage, we design and engineer rods with intention, then build them individually to master specific applications.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just rod weight when it comes to creating application-specific rods. Taper, length, graphite, and specific construction techniques are what truly brings a rod to life and dials it in for a specific purpose. Fast action/multi-application rods, such as the X, are going to be the best tool for a vast majority of anglers to cover a wide range of fishing styles. For anglers looking to expand their quiver and dial in a specific application, Sage has the lineup of specialty rods created for that exact experience.

FAST ACTION / MULTI-APPLICATION Fast action allows us to build rods that perform a multitude of tasks extremely well. Dating back to the original RP in 1982, chief rod designer Don Green wanted to allow casters to be able to delicately present casts off the tip while simultaneously having access to the reserve of power in the lower sections of the rod. This simple “fast action” design helped open up a rods ability to fish a variety of angling applications. From dry fly sipping fish in the calm of the AM, big hoppers in the afternoons, to nymphing through a hatchless sunny day, a Fast Action rod gives you the ability to do it all.

PRESENTATION / MODERATE ACTION

SMALL WATER / FAST ACTION

• Soft presentations

• Accurate delivery of small flies

• Light tippet protection

• Casting in small water and amongst obstructions

• Open loops for 2-fly rigs

• Light, stealthy presentations

Just like you wouldn’t pull out your driver when you need your 7 iron, the MOD is optimized for the distances and scenarios most often encountered by the trout angler. Thoughtfully crafted with contemporary line designs, fly patterns, and angling styles in mind, the MOD is a modern interpretation of a moderate action specific for trout fisheries.

The small water DART features a short-range fast action for chasing wary trout in still and clear water, close quarters, or obstacle-ridden streamsides. Specifically designed to drive precise loops under the branches of a willow while still providing delicate presentations and delightful feedback to the angler. The KonneticHD materials combined with performance-friendly fast action gives fishermen the ultimate competitive advantage against highly selective trout. The 0-4wt models at 7'6" provide the backbone of this family with ultra-light performance, while the shorter model in a 3wt provides a specialty tool to the angler looking for accuracy in extremely confined areas. The lightest, most precise casting small water rod ever made, the DART is destined to become a cherished tool in the trout fisherman’s quiver for years to come.

Designed and handcrafted on Bainbridge Island, the MOD features all the lightweight, strength, responsiveness, and accuracy benefits of our proprietary Konnetic Technology®. • Konnetic Technology® • Jade blank color • Yellow-Green thread wraps with Black trim wraps • Fuji ceramic stripper guides • Hard chromed snake guides and tip-top • Zebra wood insert with Gloss Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat • Super Plus snub-nose, half-wells cork handle • Black rod bag with Jade logo and model tag • Black powder coated aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion

• Designed for European-style nymphing techniques

• Maximized sensitivity, reduced weight-in-hand, and superior shock absorption to better hold fish

Our ESN was designed specifically for European-style nymphing techniques developed to maximize catch rates. Built with a KonneticHD backbone, the ESN allows anglers to experience unmatched blank recovery, increased sensitivity, reduced weight-in-hand, and superior shock absorption to better hold fish. The refined medium action has been designed with a variety of long and short line techniques and situations in mind, allowing you to confidently work any stretch of river. From small creeks to big rivers, the ESN is as dynamic as the water.

• Increased sensitivity and shock absorption to better hold fish

For those that are looking to explore tight line nymphing and maximize effectiveness during their time on the water, we have created a PULSE ESN rod. The additional length allows anglers to reach further into the river and really control the line and the drift of their bugs. These rods are built with a more versatile action than the ESN, but still remains very focused on the unique demands of nymphing. This rod is a perfect addition for those looking to expand upon their river collection. • Graphite IIIe Technology • Lichen blank color

SPECIES SPECIFIC / FAST ACTION

BIG FLIES / FAST ACTION

• Strength to slide, lift, and throw heavier intermediate and sink-tip lines and bulky, air resistant flies

• Maximum leverage for fish fighting and pulling big fish from cover

• Power toward the butt allows for quick loading, minimal false casting

• Mangroves and salt marshes where accuracy in close quarters is difficult with standard length rods

Pike and Musky are big, toothy critters that don’t mess around, so we’ve built two rods every bit as serious. Taller cousins to our BASS II family of rods, these 9’ 10 and 11-weight rods use their added length to great advantage. Designed to maximize the inherent strength of Generation 5 technology to slide, lift and throw heavier intermediate and sink-tip lines and bulky, airresistant flies, the PIKE and MUSKY rods never back down from a fight. But, because it can take endless casts to entice these stealthy predators from their lairs, these rods are anything but bullies to cast. These surprisingly well-mannered rods are tapered with great power toward the butt to allow for quick loading, minimal false casting and to smoothly shoot the fly out toward that submerged log. Only, that’s no log.

The BASS II is an advanced performance rod that generates higher line speeds, provides greater accuracy and easier line pick up. This lighter weight bass rod has a very smooth feel, but with maximum leverage to fight aggressive predators and pull big fish from cover. These rods perform the job of line pick up, back-cast, and redelivery with no false cast needed. It is the perfect tool for accurately casting big, wind-resistant flies from a kayak, canoe and other small personal craft. It’s also the best choice for fishing in mangroves and salt marshes where accuracy in close quarters is difficult with standard length rods. BASS II is versatile for many different species and conditions. All BASS II rods come with a perfectly weighted and tapered Sage fly line.

PULSE TROUT SPEY

FAST ACTION

• Swinging flies for trout

• More powerful, stable loops

Sage's ONE TROUT SPEY rods are designed specifically for two-handed casting and swinging flies for trout. These ultra-light Spey rods are delicate enough to protect small flies on light tippets yet powerful enough to cast modestly weighted streamers on light sink tips. For steelhead and salmon anglers, these trout spey rods are a tool to keep casting in shape in the offseason. For the trout angler, the rods are another specialized tool to target trout and a great entry into the fun world of two-handed fishing. • Konnetic Technology®

Graphite IIIe technology ensures power and durability, providing the PULSE with fast action performance and a connected feel. • Graphite IIIe Technology • Lichen blank color • Olive thread wraps with Black trim wraps • Fuji ceramic stripper guides • Hard chromed snake guides and tip-top • Gloss Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat • Cork fore grip and rear grip • Black nylon rod tube with divided liner

/ PRECISE CONTROL

SEALED CARBON SYSTEM (SCS) DRAG With its smooth engagement and consistent, dependable, and repeatable pressure, our SCS Drag allows you to fish with confidence knowing your tippet is protected. Proprietary high-grade US made carbon easily and repeatedly handles high pressure and quickly dissipates the kinetic energy of that running fish into thermal energy. Tailored configurations allow us to create specific drag systems for each model, size, and fishing application, and the entire system itself is sealed to keep out water, sand, grit, and salt.
