Fly Rods
December 4th, 2009
 Sage BASS Fly Rod 4PC Price: 394.95The Sage Small Mouth Fly Rod was developed after working with a small, tight-lipped group of serious bass anglers. We’ve developed two new rods that can drop a hair frog or an air-light diver with pinpoint accuracy and hardly a ripple on the water. From a fly fishing perspective, we’re talking about effortlessly pushing big, wind-resistant bugs into tight quarters. Available in three models, Bluegill (new this year), Smallmouth and Largemouth, rods measure 7′11″, which slides them just under the strict bass tournament rules for rod length. Additionally, both rods are sold with custom bass taper fly lines and a travel case for protection. If you haven’t fished for bass on a fly-rod you do not know what you are missing. This is the perfect rod for bass fishing. FEATURES • Custom bass taper flylines available through Sage • Power house casting and fish-fighting tools • Light weight, yet able to cast big flies for big strikes • These rods measure 7′11″ which slides them just under the strict bass tournament rules for rod length • Comes with Custom rod case We love to match these species-specific rods with the Sage 2500, Galvan Open Back, or the Hardy Demon reels.

 Sage Launch Fly Rod Price: 219.95The Launch series rods are a joy to cast. Whether you are still developing as a fly caster or you are an old hand the rods deliver. Sage’s G5 Technology clearly demonstrated that the key to better casting is the ability to feel the rod load. With our Launch Series rods, we applied what we’ve learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means Launch Series rods provide exceptional line connection or feel, allowing anglers to cast better and more easily. Sage Launch Rod Specifics MODEL HANDLE LENGTH LINE SECTIONS TUBE SIZE (in.)
