Sage went back to the drawing board to create the Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods and by rethinking the entire rod-building process, they have produced a remarkable rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels. The Z-Axis offers an enhanced level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance. This is a fabulous rod and has won the praise of many anglers who feared that nothing would able to replace the performance of the old favourite, the XP. The Z Axis does all this and then some.

THE SAGE TCX

Evolved from the popular TCR Series, TCX rods redefine the extreme distance category, as Sage continues to push the outer boundaries of fly rod performance.

Sage created a radical new series of tapers and a fly rod that's lighter, stronger and more powerful than its predecessor. Most importantly, the enhanced line feel and feedback mean intuitively better timing and an extraordinary level of casting ease for ultra-high-performance fly rods.

Whether you're reaching for previously impossible lies, bombing it into a stiff Nor' Easter or showing off in the parking lot, the TCX provides skilled anglers with the ultimate tool for success when facing the most challenging situations.

THE SAGE FLIGHT

Through a further application of the analysis and construction methods developed for our G5 Technology, Sage has completely updated their FLi Series with a range of even lighter, smoother fly rods. Introducing the all-new Flight Series. Now you'll be able to generate high line speed and feel the rod load more precisely for improved power transfer and efficiency. In fishing situations, that means you will instinctively cast better without having to think about it.

Flight Series rods are available separately or in line weights 4-6, 8 and 9 as part of a complete, perfectly balanced outfit, including a Sage 1800 Series reel, RIO floating line, backing and leader, plus a protective rod/reel case.

Sage's value priced Launch series rods have been specially designed using their new G5 technology to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means that the Launch rods provide an exceptional level of line connection or feel, allowing anglers of all abilities to cast better and more easily. Every Launch rod is hand built by American craftsmen in Sage's Bainbridge Island, Washington plant. Like all Sage rods, they are covered by a great warranty and a case is included.
