Having the new Z-Axis in your casting hand is truly empowering. They
exude fish-catching prowess akin to something out of a dream. The tip
strength gives you the forgiveness to bail you out of a missed stroke,
and the extra punch in their taper propels flies into the wind with
rocket-like efficiency. Sage spent years researching every inch of the
rod blank using exclusive analysis software. The goal was to eliminate
all unnecessary material and weight. Take one and start firing and
you'll agree these rods are light, strong and easier to cast for
anglers of all skill levels. Each blank incorporates the next level of
Sage's Generation 5 Technology. Aligned Fiber Technology replaces
traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite.
This improvement is combined with new construction techniques to align
and compress the rods for maximum strength. Z-Axis rods produce
previously unattainable levels of line feel, response and performance. Free Shipping in the USA

(Light Line) on steroids. For those of us that truely enjoyed the
old LL series we once again have something to look froward to in
the future. The new ZXL rods are significantly lighter, stronger
and easier to cast
for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a smooth
progressive taper. Through the miracle of our G5 process, we were able
to remove every gram of unnecessary material from each blank and
replace traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive
graphite. Ready to experience life on the smooth side? Free Shipping in the USA

Combine near weightlessness with a groundbreaking level of performance,
and the result is our TXL Series rods. Through our exclusive Generation
5 Technology, we've built an amazingly light fly rod, while increasing
strength, smoothness and sensitivity to "line feel." In angling terms,
that means you'll cast better, fish more effectively and enjoy yourself
more. We're especially proud to offer the TXL in the revolutionary 000,
or "trriple-ought" line weight. Free Shipping in the USA

No matter which
saltwater challenges you face-from bonefish to billfish-Xi2 Series rods
let you concentrate on the fish instead of your casting. Built with our
innovative Generation 5 (G5) Technology, Xi2 rods feel lighter and
livelier than other saltwater rods. The Modulus Positioning System
(MPS) that we developed for these rods provides a startling level of
"line feel" throughout the casting stroke. This enhanced ability to
feel the rod load allows you to apply power more efficiently.

Developing G5
Technology clearly demonstrated that the key to better casting is the
ability to feel the rod load. So with our new Launch Series rods, we
applied what we've learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve
and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means Launch
Series rods provide exceptional line connection or feel, allowing
anglers to cast better and more easily.
