Sage X Fly Rods
Sage X Rods combine proprietary technologies in a rod that offers more power with less casting effort than any previous Sage fly rod. Â “KonneticHD” organizes the carbon fibers from tip to butt, allowing the rod designer, Jerry Siem, to use less material in creating a more powerful and stable fly rod. Â A new resin further lightens and toughens the blank. Â We know that sounds like marketing speak, but there is no caster on the planet that would cast the X Series and come to any other conclusion.
As lifelong anglers of Sage fly rods, our staff believe that the standout characteric of the X Series is the progressive nature of the casting action. Â Almost all past Sage rods have cast with an easily detected flex point, loading to a certain depth in the blank, then stiffening noticeably. Â For this reason, Sage rods have been considered “timing oriented” by some casters, fitting better with certain casting styles than others. Â The X Series transcends action preferences with even flex regardless of line length. Â This is a quality sometimes found in medium action rods, but almost never in fast action sticks. Â Consistency of loop shape, loop control, line speed, accuracy and turnover are all NOTICEABLY SUPERIOR in the X Series, all with less effort from the caster.
