Sage Vantage Fly Fishing Rods

Sage's new Vantage Series rods make learning to cast easier. Built with knowledge gained through the development of G5 Technology, Vantage rods give beginning casters a high level of “line feel,” creating a quicker, more instinctive understanding of when to apply power.

Lighter and slimmer than their predecessors, these rods are made on Bainbridge Island, Washington and feature a smooth new medium-fast action for maximum forgiveness and effortless loading. Add great value pricing and getting started is now easier than ever before.

Vantage Series rods are available separately or as part of a complete, perfectly balanced outfit, with a Sage 1600 Series reel, RIO® floating line, backing, leader and protective rod/reel case.

Features:
* Medium-fast action
* Mocha blank color
* Hard chrome snake guides and hard alloy stripping guides
* Fresh water rods feature diamond wood insert reel seats
* Saltwater size rods feature titanium anodized reel seats, full wells grips and extension butts
* Comes with light brown color Cordura covered hard rod tube

Four piece rods are very popular because they carry and store easily. The Engineers at Sage are masters of rod ferrule design, and Sage rod ferrules use a minimal amount of material, which results in rods that are smooth and crisp.
