SIGNAL Saltwater Fly Rod

Built for Modern Saltwater Fly Fishing

The SAGE SIGNAL is built for demanding saltwater fly fishing across a wide range of environments. From sea trout along the European coastline and bonefish on tropical flats to striped bass, permit and tarpon, SIGNAL fly rods combine high line speed, precise control and the power required to perform in windy conditions.

With line weights ranging from #6 to #12, the series covers everything from light and medium coastal fly fishing to demanding tropical saltwater applications. The lighter models are excellent choices for sea trout and other coastal species, while the heavier SIGNAL rods provide the power required for larger flies and powerful saltwater fish.

Fast Action Fly Rod for Wind and Distance

Wind and longer casting distances are a regular part of saltwater fly fishing. SIGNAL's fast, responsive action generates high line speed and helps form tight, controlled loops.

This performance is equally valuable when casting for sea trout along an exposed coastline or making a quick presentation to cruising bonefish or permit.

The responsive blank loads efficiently and provides the power required to accelerate a saltwater fly line into headwinds and crosswinds. Fast recovery also improves accuracy and provides direct control over the line throughout the cast.

KonneticHD Technology

At the heart of the SIGNAL fly rod is SAGE's KonneticHD Technology.

An optimized graphite-to-resin ratio creates a high-density fiber composite, resulting in a lightweight and durable blank with fast recovery and efficient energy transfer.

This construction supports high line speed, tight loops and accurate casting across changing saltwater conditions.

From Sea Trout and Bonefish to Tarpon

Every SIGNAL fly rods measures 9'0" and features a four-piece construction. The series covers line weights from #6 through #12.

The #6 through #8 models are versatile saltwater rods for light to medium coastal fishing. They are excellent choices for sea trout, bonefish, striped bass and comparable applications. Sea trout anglers in particular benefit from their fast action when distance, wind resistance and precise line control are required.

The #9 and #10 models provide additional power for larger flies and stronger fish, including permit, large redfish and tarpon applications.

The #11 and #12 models deliver the power required for dedicated tarpon fishing and other demanding heavy saltwater applications.

Saltwater-Ready Components

SAGE equips SIGNAL rods with components selected specifically for saltwater environments.

A Fuji ceramic stripper guide and oversized hard-chromed snake guides provide smooth line management during fast and long casts.

The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum reel seat incorporates an integrated hidden hook keeper.

A Super Grade full-wells cork handle provides a secure grip while casting, while the cork/EVA fighting butt offers additional control when fighting powerful fish.
