Sage Fly Rod
One of the most popular fly fishing rods recognized across the globe is the Sage
fly rod. It has gained 75 world records and was listed in the 2007 World Record Game Fishes book of the
International Game Fish Association.
The Sage fly rod has over three times as many records in fishing as its closest competitor. In fact, regardless
if it is teaming up with Redington and RIO against the Pebble Mine in Alaska, it still remains at the conservation
forefront.
The Sage fly rod was established by world-renowned rod designer, Don Green. In 1980, Green established the Sage
in Bainbridge Island in Washington. Green was determined to build the finest performance fly rod that could be
recognized in the world. He teamed up with other rod companies including Fenwick and Grizzly and used high quality
materials coupled with his experience in building rods. Thus, Green truly revolutionized the world of fly
fishing.
The Sage Company was known as Winslow Rod Company. Originally, it only consisted of 6 employees and was located
in a 1,500 square foot manufacturing area. Today, Sage Company has 175 employees and is currently operating in a
30,000 square foot manufacturing site.
The Sage fly rod has several different types, which are known across the globe. Some of the most popular rods
include the RP or Reverse Power, which is usually used during windy days and casting extra long distances.
The Sage Company also created high-performance graphite rods known as the Graphite III RPL fly rod. It also
created its classic Sage fly rod known as the LL Series 2, which is a rod specifically used for light anglers.
After almost 30 years of success, the Sage Rod Company has created all kinds of rods for fishery and fly anglers
that one can ever think of. These include rods made of different types of materials such as Graphite IV SP, XP,
RPLXi travel rods, RPL, RPLX, TH, LL, DS Series, G5 technology line, SLT, Xi2 Series, TCR, Z-Axis, BASS series or
ZXL, entry-level FLi and Lauch Series, and TXL Series (near-weightless).
The Sage Company has also created its TCX model, which provides ultra fast action. It is a rod, which is
designed to fit a broader range of casting preferences and methods.
The success of the Sage Company is founded on its unique fishing philosophy called “maximum fishability.” The
fly rods that Sage creates are designed to help anglers and fishermen to fish more efficiently, cast in long or
short distances, and enjoy being on the water to fish. Sage fly rods is known as one of the top quality
manufacturers of fishing rods not only because of its well-designed rods but also the company’s commitment to its
customers. Sage fly fishing equipment provides warranty repairs for customers and has good working relationship
with its dealers around the world. It is also dedicated to good citizenship through its sponsorships in major
fishing events such as Trout Unlimited, California Trout, the Haig-Brown Institute, and the Federation of Fly
Fishers.
