Sage IS the leader in two-hand steelhead rods.  This is because of their unique understanding of steelhead, steelhead rivers and steelhead fishermen.  Sage is also the leader in two-hand rods designed with King Salmon in mind.  One of the guys that leads this advisory committee is George Cook, pictured here fishing out of Alaska West Lodge on the Kanektok River, with an 8129-4 Z-AXIS. This rod has the butt strength to pressure fish that weigh over 50-pounds, yet incorporates enough sensitivity to be useful as a steelhead rod.  It's shorter powerful flex loads easy to throw very large flies without casting fatigue; a rod to fill the nitch. 
8129-4 Z-AXIS is new for 2008.

Sage 2-Handed Z-AXIS Specifications & Prices
High-Gloss olive colored with gold trim. Highest grade cork handles with rubberized cork butts.  High gloss black anodized, machined & polished, double lock ring reel seats are standard.
Z-AXIS replaces the popular European Series.  They combine Generation-5 technology with crisp, smooth lightweight actions. These rods are medium-fast and have slightly stiffer butts.  They handle the full range of fly line types (long, medium, short heads) and will suite casters of all skill levels.

Click for TCR Spey Rods.

TCR Spey Rods
These specialty rods are designed for serious two-hand rod fishers who are looking for two things: fly line speed and distance casting accuracy.  The TCR Series lends itself to throwing sinking tip lines and shooting heads very long distances.  The 10150-4 TCR is a good choice for an Alaskan Chinook rod.  It may also become the most popular big salmon rod for use in northern Europe.  It has the butt strength to put the maximum pull on #20 Maxima.  The 9140-4 TCR that we used at the 2004 Sandy River Spey Clave was very fast.  I worked the Clave pool with it one evening.  The limits to distance with a 9/10/11 WindCutter was how well the running line was kept from balling up.  Throwing heavy sinking heads with this rod is a breeze.  The two smaller models will find favor with anglers who use Scandinavian Shooting Heads. Check out our test report on the 8139-4TCR.  This is Sage's flag ship series and the finish and craftsmanship is impeccable.
High-Gloss chili-pepper colored with gold trim. Highest grade cork handles with Hyplon butts.  High gloss black anodized, machined & polished, double lock ring reel seats are standard.
