Sage

Sage has built premium fly rods on Bainbridge Island, Washington since 1980, earning a reputation as one of the most respected American rod makers. Their rod tapers are known for crisp, fast-recovering performance that excels from small Catskill streams to spring creeks to saltwater flats.

Beyond rods, Sage produces fly reels with the same quality and warranty standards as their rod program. If you're shopping for a serious trout rod, a dedicated Euro-nymph stick, or a reel built to last decades, Sage is one of the names we recommend without hesitation.
