Sage Z-Axis Series Fly Rods
Sage went back to the drawing board to create the incredible new Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods. By improving the entire rod-building process, we created a rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels. The Z-Axis offers an entirely new level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance. But don't take our word for it-visit a local fly shop and take it for a test spin.

Sage ZXL Fly Rods
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?

Sage Xi3 Fly Rods
When it comes to fly rod genealogy it becomes hard to find a rod line more pure than Sage’s saltwater offering over the years. From the RPLx to the Xi2 these saltwater specific rods have been slaying the biggest ocean monsters around the world for many years. As technology improves, this rod has changed and the new Xi3 (available NOW at TCO Fly Shop) is no exception. Sage has blended its Generation 5 technology with its new Saltwater H2o system. To make it simple, the Xi3 is lighter and easier to cast than the Xi2 yet still offers the guide like durability and fish fighting skills. This is a saltwater focused rod and Sage offers line weight from 6-16 to handle even the most viscous beasts.


Sage 99 Series Fly Rods
Need a bit of extra reach, have to throw a longer roll cast or mend those difficult currents half way across the river? The Sage Rod Company has the answer for you; it’s called the 99. All of the rods in the 99 series are 9’9” in length and range from 4-8 weights. This rod, which is loosely based on the Z-Axis series, will give anglers the extra length that they need in heavier water. I expect the 7 and 8 weight 99’s will become great Steelhead rods and the 4-6 weights stand to become some of the greatest large water trout rods to ever hit the water.


Sage TXL Series Fly Rods
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.

Sage TCX Series Fly Rods
Evolved from our popular TCR Series, TCX rods redefine the extreme distance category, as we continue to push the outer boundaries of fly rod performance. We created a radical new series of tapers and a fly rod that’s lighter, stronger and more powerful than its predecessor. Most importantly, the enhanced line feel and feedback mean intuitively better timing and an extraordinary level of casting ease for ultra-high-performance fly rods. Whether you’re reaching for previously impossible lies, bombing it into a stiff Nor’ Easter or showing off in the parking lot, the TCX provides skilled anglers with the ultimate tool for success when facing the most challenging situations. The question is, what kind of amazing new cast will you make with it?

Sage Bass Fly Rods
After working with a small, tight-lipped group of serious bass anglers, we’ve developed two new rods that can drop a hair frog or an air-light diver with pinpoint accuracy and hardly a ripple on the water. From a fly fishing perspective, we’re talking about effortlessly pushing big, wind-resistant bugs into tight quarters. Available in two models, Smallmouth and Largemouth, both rods measure 7'11", which slides them just under the strict bass tournament rules for rod length. Additionally, both rods are sold with custom bass taper flylines and a travel case for protection. When used outside the bass fishing world, we strongly recommend them for probing the mangroves or throwing huge flies for pike and muskies.

Sage VT2 Series Fly Rod
The Sage VT2 Series rods are designed for maximum versatility, smooth performance and great value. Throughout the entire line, we've created a taper and action that best fits each specific line weight. VT2 Series rods provide a light, sensitive feel and an incredibly smooth power curve for faster line speed and easier casting. They also feature a gorgeous "blue ribbon" blue finish, titanium anodized aluminum reel seat hardware and British-made, hard chrome-plated guides.

Sage Fli Series Fly Rods
Through a further application of the analysis and construction methods developed for our G5 Technology, we’ve completely updated our FLi Series with a range of even lighter, smoother fly rods. Introducing the all-new Flight Series. Now you’ll be able to generate high line speed and feel the rod load more precisely for improved power transfer and efficiency. In fishing situations, that means you will instinctively cast better without having to think about it. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again with more emphasis: These are simply great fly rods.

Sage Vantage Fly Rods
Sage is one of the only rod companies that still continue to build their entry-level rods at their own rod factory. While most others went to China and other countries to build their cheaper sticks, Sage stood strong with their Launch series and the quality showed. The Launch was a great rod for the price and its successor is no exception. The new Vantage rod from Sage is a lighter and better casting version of the Launch. With only a small price increase this rod still represents a great value for a U.S. built rod by one of the best makers in the world.


Sage Spin Series Fly Rods
The Spinning Series rods are designed for anglers who like to carry a back-up rod when a storm's a-brewing and conditions make it physically impossible to fly fish. A real pleasure to cast, Sage's Spin rods are made from Graphite III and offer fast action, smooth performance, and a light, sensitive tip. When fly rods prove ineffective, try Sage's Spinning Series.
