   How to choose a steelhead rod.       Sage Warranty

Smooth actions & improved balance for deadly fishability.
These long rods allow you to roll cast, spey cast and overhead cast in areas with back cast or height limitations. Sage two-hand rods are available in modern fast action Z-AXIS, super-fast TCX models and economical VXP models.
Sage ONE Spey Rods will become available around June 15, 2012.
They are a revolutionary improvement in two-hand rods that will rock the anadromous world!

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 proven.

Sage 7136-4 Generations
By: Mark Bachmann
The Sage 7136-4 Two-Hand Fly Rod evolved in the Pacific Northwest of North America, which is a geographic area with lots of steelhead. In the 20-years that this basic design has been around, it has landed thousands of (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In the Pacific Northwest is a vast array of snow-melt rivers that fall precipitously from rain drenched mountains to the sea. These watersheds are wild with vegetation to the water. Here the terrain is some of the most challenging in the world for fly fishing. Many rivers are large and hard to wade.
Some steelhead eat dainty little flies, but most prefer flies that are as long as your middle finger, and are often tied on shanks or tubes that are equipped with heavy metal eyes. Sinking tip lines rule here. Two-hand rods (Spey rods) started to become popular in the Pacific Northwest around 1990. Most rods used in the Pacific Northwest during the early 1990's were 14' - 15' nine-weights. These big rods had evolved in the parts of the world where Atlantic Salmon are the main target. These fish average twelve to thirty pounds.
Steelhead average six to twenty pounds.
Around 1992 Sage offered what they termed a summer steelhead rod, the 7136-4 RPL. At 13 1/2 feet, for a seven-weight line, it was long and lean. The first model 7136-4 was produced and fished in an era before Americans had acquired much experience in fly fishing for steelhead in their home waters. As more and more Northwest Anglers entered the steelhead-fly-fishing sport, their tackle was adapted to the unique personalities of their own rivers and fish. Rods and lines were adapted to cast large flies to moderate size fish, which live in hard to fish places. 
Seven weight rods took the popularity from the nine weight rods. During the last three years the best selling steelhead rods are for seven-weight lines and are from 13' to 13 1/2 feet in length. The Sage 7136-4 was the first popular rod in this category.
I've owned and fished four generations of Sage 7136-4 Spey rods. The first ones were brown from the RPL Generation. After a love, hate, love relationship, which went like: bought one and caught several steelhead with it, didn't like it, sold it, regretted it, and bought another one. Then fished that rod for three summer seasons as my go-to rod for windless-days. This generation was parabolic and somewhat wobbly in action. It would throw long casts, but with the lines available at the time, it needed quite a bit of room to form a reasonable D-loop. Because of the slow action it was a pain in the wind, but was the right size for the water and the fish. This rod became my morning rod on the Deschutes, but cluttered up the boat during the windy afternoons. Next came the dark green SP Series. These rods were more responsive than the brown rods. I sold the second brown 7136-4 rod, and bought a green one. It filled the roll of the brownie as a morning rod, and occasionally it was used in the winter. It was superior to the brown rod, but in my opinion only marginally so. However, there are a number of experienced anglers who believe that the dark green 7136-4 is the best all around Spey rod that was ever made, and there are many of these rods that are still in action. Then there was a tiger-eye colored version that actually was called an 8136-4. It worked better as a Skagit rod, but lost the edge as a greased line Deschutes rod. Once again there are long term believers in this version.
Then in 2006 came Z-AXIS and everything changed. The Skagit/Scandi shooting head craze came into full bloom and the 7136-4 Z-AXIS fit the new lines perfectly.
A year ago, my best fishing buddy Bob said he wanted to refine his steelhead skill-set by simplification. He wanted to be able to present the fly better and realized that being able to cast better was the key. He wanted one rod that would fish both summer and winter steelhead. What would be his single best choice? My reply was, "Buy a Sage 7136-4 Z-AXIS". He did, and the improvement in his catch became noticeable almost immediately. A year later he says he has no regrets about his rod selection. This winter Bob has scored at will, and it is because he is covering more water better. My own 7136-4 is battered and bruised from five seasons of constant use. It is the best big water gun I own for fishing Skagit style heads with sinking tips to 175-grains and it throws average size Intruder flies with ease. At 13 1/2 feet, the extra length maximizes control.
The 7136-4 evolved slowly, over a period of many years. I think the method is called incremental change. Little by little the handle changed, the reel seat changed, the guides changed, and the cosmetics changed. But when the parabolic action changed to a progressive action, line speed and casting accuracy improved dramatically. Sinking tips came out of the water easier allowing the anchor for the next cast to be placed more precisely, which made loop length and tension more predictable, which made all facets of casting easier, which cut fatigue, and ultimately brought more fish to the hand. During this period of development, graphite technology improved, and the traditional parabolic Spey rod taper design was finely discarded in favor of a more responsive progressive taper, which generated more line speed and allowed fishing in tighter quarters.
THE ONE from Sage
Sage has always been an innovator in graphite rod blank technology. Their latest masterpiece is called is call Konnetic technology. It involves placing the graphite fibers in each rod blank in perfect alignment to gain casting accuracy and recovery time. Single-hand Sage ONE rods made with Kt have been well-received in the market place, and on the water. A series of two-hand rods has been under development for an extended period of time (under very tight security that was hard for us to crack). We got a sneak peek at a couple of these rods in the summer of 2011. They were killers and they created a lot of excitement around camp. We have waited 11-months to have them in our shop. They are here now!
May 19, Bob and I got our hands on a new Sage 7136-4 ONE "prototype". (This rod is finally available now). Bob got to go first with the new rod, and spent a full fifteen minutes casting before he gave it to me. After a twenty-cast tune up to gauge this rod's personality, I dropped downstream a hundred feet and went fishing. Twenty casts later a brand new native steelhead conveniently impaled herself on the fly and ran into the backing. After a short, but determined fight my buddy Josh was kind enough to slip the net under it for me, and after a couple of quick clicks of the camera the fish went upon her merry way. I surrendered the rod back to the other boat, and Bob and I proceeded to fish our Z-AXIS rods for the rest of the day.
So how does this new rod compare to previous generations?
The cosmetics on the new series is distinctive, but the finish on all top-line Sage rods has been superb for years. In the cosmetics department the difference between the old and new series is a toss. The color of the ONE Series rods is called "black ice". Wraps are black with metallic bronze accents; very subtle, but sophisticated, kind of like pearls and gold against a black dress. The reel seats are plain and very functional anodized aluminum without extra grooves to collect grime. The handle is similar in shape and size to the previous generation, but is plainer looking, which is okay with me. I'm more interested in what the cork will look like after three years of hard use. The cork on the sample rod looked good. Sage handles have always stood up well.
Forty casts and one steelhead doesn't tell a person everything about any rod. While playing the fish, there was little noticeable difference between the old and new rods. They seemed to bend about the same, and both rods are very forgiving. No improvement in this category is needed.
Casting, however was a different story. Once again both rods seem to bend about the same. (Josh Linn who got more water-time with the ONE, thinks it is slightly faster in action than the Z-AXIS). Both rods are easy to load. Yet the new rod lifts sinking tips easier, and allows for a more accurate placement of the anchor. This, of course makes all the rest of each cast easier. Where I was fishing at the time, there was no need for extreme casting distance. The cast that caught the fish was about 65' from the rod tip to the fly. The cast had landed very straight with very little slack in it, so the fly came under tension immediately and the fish took after the fly had travelled less than twenty feet.
Fly speed can be everything and slack in the line can be your enemy during certain water flows. Unintentional slack in the line is created by poor casting technique, and rod designs that create tip wobble. If you are a smooth caster the Z-AXIS throws a very tight line with a minimum of bounce-back. But the ONE is even better in this department. The High Compression Molding (HCM) process in the Konnetic technology that makes the ONE single-handers the most accurate casting rods on the market, definitely improves the effectiveness of the 7136-4 as a fishing tool. The density of the (HCM) blank construction isn't lighter in weight than the Z-AXIS, but you are so much more connected to your fly through it. The feeling is really startling. The take of that fish was transmitted with incredibly sharp detail, which created a heightened awareness of the whole event, which is indelibly etched into the steelhead archives between my ears, a pleasant memory amongst a myriad of other pleasant fly fishing fishing memories.
The Sage ONE rods were incredibly popular at the Sandy River Spey Clave in May, 2012! George Cook brought a huge supply of samples, but there were hardly ever any in his booth to try. They were always on the water being flogged by loving hands.
Our stock varies from day to day. We get rods continually, and we ship every day!

Sage Two-Hand VXP Rods

 "What! A six-weight Chinook rod...you gotta' be kidding!"
We're not kidding ,...but this isn't your average 6-weight Spey Rod either.
VXP is a new design direction for Sage. As a matter of fact, it might fit a new category of of two-hander. In the past, two-hand rods were placed into several specialized categories. Each model was designed with a specific task relating to a specific kind of fish, certain size of water, or a certain casting approach. Rods have been assigned to many designations in an attempt to explain the role they were meant to play. Two-Hand rods normally are tagged with designations such as: "European", "American", "Scandinavian", "Scani", "Skagit", "Beach", "Overhead", and "Spey". The VPX's fit all of these categories...easily. We could call it a "Universal Spey" rod, the two-hand rod that does everything. It makes a lot of sense considering the the VXP is designed to be a high end entry-level, and back-up series.
I first came across this a VXP Spey at Summer Steelhead PHD 2010 on the Deschutes River. Simon Gawesworth brought a 6129-4 VXP to the party. He had it loaded with a 435-grain Rio Steelhead Scandi line, which was a very good match for the kind of fishing we do most on the Deschutes: presenting small wet flies in the film. The new rod fit the size of the river, size of the fish and size of the flies we were using. It was popular with our students.
I finally got my 6129-4 VXP in November, too late for the Deschutes for me. I had just spent three and a half months camping there. The weather was turning cold and my attention was drawn to the west side of the Cascades, where newer, brighter fish were expected in the Sandy River. The winter of 2011 was rough and tumble, with many floods and freezes. Fishing conditions were incredibly challenging much of the time. Most of my December/January schedule was lost to bad water conditions.
In January, we started our Winter Steelhead School season. Our first on-the-water session was held with muddy water up in the willows. Josh Linn did a very impressive clinic on how to "dead-stop" roll cast when standing waist deep and completely surrounded by willows. His weapon of choice was a Sage 5126-4 Z-AXIS loaded with a 400-grain Skagit Short and 11' of T-14. With this combo Josh showed how to pull a very shallow D-loop straight up out of the willows turn it at right angles over his shoulder and send it out over the water to ranges of seventy feet. I thought, "Sweet! I've got to set up an outfit for that trick."
I own many two-hand rod set-ups. Normally five complete set-ups are stored inside Harding rod/reel cases which are placed all-five-at-a-time, inside specially designed waterproof bags. One five-rod-system-set is carried in the cat-boat I use during winter trips, and two sets are carried in the jet boat I use during the summer. Each rod/reel set up is designed for a specific task. As many as twenty combinations might rotate through my "boat-bags" during the season.
During the winter my rod combos are assembled to cast certain size flies and work best for certain kinds of water conditions. Primarily each rod is selected to throw a specific type of sinking tip. I carry T-8 rods, T-11 rods, T-14 rods and T-17 rods. Outfits that launch 2 1/4" tube flies with 13' of T-11 get the most use. I rigged up the 6129-4 VXP as a T-11 rod and mated it with a 450-grain Rio Skagit Flight as prescribed by the Sage Cook Book. It was found to be an adequate, but unexciting performer. Even when paired with my favorite gold colored Sage 6010 reel, it displayed a blah personality. Josh Linn advised that more grains were needed. My next move was a 480-grain Skagit compact from Airflo. There was a noticeable increase in user friendliness, but still nothing to set the 6129-4 apart from the crowd. So the next move was to add even more grains with a 525-Skagit Flight. Whammo! What a difference. Launching big flies to the other side of the river, even while wading deep, was no problem. The next move was to try a 525-grain Skagit Short to see if tweaking the outfit further would produce benefits. It worked well too, and proved to be the best pick for shorter range casting with very large flies, or where casting room was very restricted (such as Josh's water-in-the-willows trick). But the Flight gave me more overall range, and is my present favorite for fishing deep sunk flies with the Sage 6129-4 VPX rod.
When it's time to head back to the Deschutes. Both a Rio Steelhead Scandi 435-grain and a Rio Skagit flight 525-grain with sinking tips will be carried. Guaranteed both line types will get plenty of action.
The new VXP combines the performance and power of Sage's renowned (discontinued) XP rod Series, but utilizing newer materials for a thinner profile and quicker recovery. The result? An exceptionally light, lively fly rod that generates high line speed for easy distance and wind penetration. In keeping with the versatility theme, each VXP is built with a specific taper to meet the particular performance needs of each line weight.
