Sage fly rods and the Sage brand, are they the best for you?
One of the biggest quality brands on the market, Sage is known for their use of the latest technology and their lifetime warranty on fly rods and reels. Their products are built with the goal of maximum fishability in mind and are hand crafted to perfection. In addition to Sage fly rods and reels, they also make fly rod blanks for anglers who want to make their own rods, fly lines, as well as rod, reel and wader cases. Although it’s a little difficult to find on their site, they even make a spinning rod, “for when conditions make it physically impossible to fly fish.”
Sage fly rods
As I mentioned before, all of the fly rods are backed by a lifetime warranty- which is comforting. In addition, all of their fly rods are hand crafted with very strict quality control. These aren’t the $99 specials from Wal-Mart or Big 5. Sage’s rods come in nine different series and a variety of lengths and weights for all fishing conditions. The rods are broken down into three series.
- Premium Fly Rod Series: Z-Axis, TXL, TCR, SLT
- Specialty Fly Rod Series: Xi2, Two-Handed
- Value Fly Rod Series: VT2, FLi, Launch
Sage Fly Reels
Similar to their fly rods, sage fly reels are backed by their lifetime warranty. For 2007, Sage is offering four series of fly reels:
- 2500 Series Drag Reels
- 3000 Series Drag Reels
- 3000 Series Click & Pawl Reels
- Value Priced Reels
