As eastern Canada's oldest Sage dealer, we have had the pleasure of carrying these finely crafted fly rods for over 30 years. The name Sage is synonymous with the highest standard of American quality and craftsmanship in the tackle industry and their innovation continues to lead the way in fly rod design and performance. Among the many fine fly rods which we offer, Sage rods have always been our best sellers, and our personal favourites.
KonneticHD Technology is the next era in performance graphite rods. By optimizing their graphite-to-resin ratio, Sage has created a higher density (HD) fiber composite, resulting in lighter, stronger blanks which deliver unmatched recovery, energy transfer, and line/loop control. Building upon proprietary construction techniques developed for Konnetic Technology, KonneticHD gives Sage an elevated platform to achieve new levels in rod design.

New proprietary graphite/resin composite developed through exclusive partnerships.
Advanced high density (HD) fiber positioning, enhanced laminate characteristics, and optimized manufacturing techniques increase composite modulus while maintaining durability.
KonneticHD creates amplified strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios as needed within the rod blank.
Optimized fiber-to-fiber energy transfer along the length of the blank minimizes both lateral and medial vibrations, delivering accuracy in an easy loading blank with quick recovery, a crisp tip stop, and enhanced line feel for complete loop control.
The highest energy transferring material Sage has ever created.
Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts. Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into "the zone" for high odds at a hookup. The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage's new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick–shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities. With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.
Equipped with a high-performance blank (Graphite IIIe), the Foundation has a fast action providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It's the very foundation of what defines a Sage rod — Performance — taking your game to another level. The Foundation series delivers the signature Sage feel. For over 35 years Sage has built performance rods one at a time on Bainbridge Island, WA. The same 27 sets of skilled hands that craft all Sage rods construct the Foundation.
All models include a grey nylon rod tube with a divided liner.
Continuing in the tradition of its TCR and TCX predecessors, the Sage Method is an exceptionally powerful ultra fast action all water rod. Built with the same Konnetic technology incorporated in the design of the Sage One, this rod delivers all the of power and accuracy that an advanced caster might expect from such masterful precision engineering.
With its magma red blank and rust thread wrappings trimmed with pewter, the Method makes a strikingly bold impression. The Fuji ceramic stripper guides and
hard chrome snakes ensure that all that power is fully harnessed into fast, precise line movement.
All Sage Method rods come with a fusion red powder coated rod case, and a black cloth rod bag with a magma red silk screened Sage logo. After all, couldn't we all use a little more Method in our madness.
Sage's Foundation series rods combined with a Sage Spectrum C series reel, RIO Gold fly line, backing, W. W. Doak hand-tied tapered leader all professionally installed and ready to fish. A protective rod/reel combo case is included.
