Sage Fishing Rods

The Sage fly rod first came into play under veteran rod constructor Don Green. His purpose was to construct the greatest fly fishing rod in the world. He put together the distinctive traits of nine, different, fly rod types constructed by Sage Rod Company. Sage Rod Company’s most recent rod expands the company’s capability to accurately match the casting strengths and techniques of individual fishermen.   

Greene’s first idea of the fly rod was that it ought to never run out of power. He thought that under standard casting circumstances, the highest flex of the rod ought not to be used. If you had extra potential set aside, this meant you could better control the rod under tricky circumstances.  

Later in 1986, the Sage company released a fly fishing rod made specifically for saltwater fishing named the RPLX. They also added a two handed spey rod to their listings. These products were patterned after European styles. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, the company’s status and market share grew until it became the world’s top rated fly rod producer.   

In 1994, the Sage Company formed the first, really fresh, rod design in 10 years. At the time of the release of the new rod, there was also a release of the hit  movie “A River Runs Through It”. The popularity of the film formed an enormous order for the Graphite IV SP. The rod was constructed of a carbon filament rod using an innovative, scrim substance named Durascrim. It was a light polyester weave cloth. The substance reinforced joints and provided a flexible, finishing coat of security.  

Today the Sage Company is in its fifth generation of technology utilizing carbon fiber rod portions of diverse strengths to go with the demands of particular rod sections. The rods are made for maximum performance. The most recent Sage Company development is the TCX that was released in 2008.
