Optimized for the unique demands of European nymphing, the supple, sensitive tip; medium-action taper and instantaneous hooksetting power of Sages ESN rods give you the edge you need to master this style of fishing. Proprietary Konnetic technology generates efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft combines with an ideal blend of strength and light weight. Components includes Fuji ceramic stripper guides and hard chromed snake guides; high-grade half-wells cork handle; and dark-nickel-colored aluminum reel seat with cocobolo wood insert.

Nowhere is line control, accuracy and line-lifting power mo ... Read more

Nowhere is line control, accuracy and line-lifting power more important than in saltwater. Sage has met that challenge head-on with its Xi3 fly rods. The rods have a proprietary blank/taper design utilizing SaltH2O technology. In English, that means fast, saltwater actions, specific salt-resistant components and unmatched power and fish-fighting capabilities. The rods specialize in pinpoint casts at any distance, lifting long lines utilizing exceptional torque and changing direction in a blink of an eye, even while driving long, accurate casts into a brisk salt breeze. To do all this requires torsional resistance and the ability of the rod to rebound instantaneously. That is the Xi3's forte. Using Sage's G5 construction, material is placed strategically in the butt section for more power and more sensitivity in the tip. The Modulus Positioning System varies the modulus rating along every inch of the rod, which means maximum performance and reduced weight. Sage finished the job by using Fuji hard chrome-plate stripping guides with Alconite ceramic inserts for durability and wear resistance. Guides are oversized for ease of line movement. Salt-safe black anodized reel seats and knurled lock rings secure reels. Full wells handles and EVA-capped fighting butts. Blanks are a striking Pacific blue with cobalt primary wraps highlighted with electric-blue accents. It's beauty and the beef. Powder-coated aluminum tube with cloth bag. Sage unconditional lifetime warranty. Sports and Outdoors > Sport and Outdoor Minimize

The moderate-fast action emphasizes accuracy and delicacy. Ergonomic snub-nose half-wells grip ensures precise casting control. Bronze anodized reel seat with natural walnut insert. Sage unconditional lifetime warranty. Sports and Outdoors > Sport and Outdoor Minimize

SAGE ONE FLY ROD Sage One Fly Rods are the first fly rods to take advantage of Sage's groundbreaking Konnetic technology. Konnetic technology, the most recent evolution in fly rod innovation, uses new materials combined with pioneering manufacturing methods and processes. This technology incorporates an optimized ratio of Sage's proprietary resin to exclusive high modulus aerospace-grade carbon fiber. The latest construction methods include Sage's Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS); a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fiber materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength, delivering extremely efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Using Sage's High Compression Molding process, carbon fibers are compacted for optimum density and precise alignment while simultaneously fusing the 50 percent lighter all-carbon fiber inner core. The ONE offers exceptional tracking with virtually no lateral or torsional movement, resulting in unparalleled casting accuracy. The inherent strength of Konnetic technology allows ONE rods to have a smaller diameter as well as weigh 25 percent lighter than comparable Sage rods. These attributes combine to provide augmented aerodynamic efficiency. Further innovations are the 70 percent lighter, low profile ferrules that help direct and carry energy through the rod without sacrificing strength, critical action and feel. Minimize
