Sage Rods

We believe that selecting the correct fly rod is the first step

in having a satisfying fly fishing experience. Sage manufactures nine different series of rods, in a variety of rod models and sizes, for every fishing situation around the world. Here is a quick three-step procedure to help you determine which Sage rod is right for your fishing situation or casting preference.

How to choose a steelhead rod. How to choose a trout rod.

First, select the ideal line weight

determine the species you will be pursuing
determine the size and type of flies you will be using (generally, lighter line weights are for smaller flies and fish and heavier line weights are for larger flies and fish)

Second, decide what type of rod action you prefer

Sage offers medium to fast action rods to suit many different types of anglers.

Third, choose the proper rod length

determine the type and size of water you will be fishing (generally, shorter rods are used on smaller creeks and streams and longer rods are used in larger rivers, lakes and saltwater locations)

Fourth, call us if you have any questions
