Precision for Small Streams
The SAGE DART is designed for anglers who demand exceptional accuracy on small streams and spring creeks. Fast action, KonneticHD technology and a highly responsive blank make it easy to load the rod at close range and deliver precise casts where every presentation matters.

Despite its light weight, the rod offers impressive lifting power and excellent fish fighting performance.

Sage Fly Rods & Reels – Performance Without Compromise
Sage fly rods represent precision, control, and consistent performance. Anglers choose Sage when accuracy, power, and reliability matter on the water. Each rod reflects decades of experience in fly fishing and rod building. Sage produces all fly rods in the USA.
Skilled rod builders assemble every blank, align components, and test each rod before it leaves the workshop. This process ensures consistent quality and a clean finish across all models.
Advanced Materials and Fast Recovery
Modern Sage fly rods use high-performance graphite to deliver fast recovery speed and stable tracking. The rod loads efficiently and transfers energy directly into the line. This leads to tighter loops, higher line speed, and better accuracy.
Fast action models handle wind, large flies, and long casting distances. Medium action rods support controlled presentations at short and medium range. This range of actions allows you to choose the right tool for your fishing style.
Designed for Real Fishing Situations
Sage develops fly rods for specific applications. Each series focuses on a defined use on the water:
- Dry fly fishing with delicate presentation
- Nymph fishing with direct contact and sensitivity
- Streamer fishing with power and control '
- Saltwater fishing with strength and corrosion-resistant components
- Two-handed casting for salmon and steelhead
This clear focus improves performance in each situation and gives you better control over your cast and drift.
Consistent Performance on Every Cast
Sage rods feel light in hand and remain stable during the cast. The blank tracks straight and recovers quickly. This helps you place the fly exactly where you want it. Even under pressure from strong fish, the rod maintains control and protects the leader.
High-quality components support long-term use. Durable guides, solid reel seats, and clean cork grips ensure reliable performance over many seasons.
Why Anglers Choose Sage Fly Rods
- Built in the USA with strict quality control
- High-performance graphite construction
- Fast recovery for precise casting
- Models for trout, predator, and saltwater fishing
- Reliable components for long service life
Sage fly rods deliver performance you can rely on. They support accurate casting, controlled drifts, and secure hook sets in all fishing conditions.

Premier Creek
The Ultimate Fly Line for Small StreamsThe RIO Premier Creek has been specifically designed for anglers fishing small streams, mountain creeks and tight, overgrown trout waters. Its unique taper loads the rod with just a few feet of fly line beyond the rod tip, making accurate casts effortless where back cast space is limited.Whether you're fishing dry flies, small nymphs or soft hackles, the Premier Creek delivers precise presentations at short and medium distances.Fast Loading at Close RangeUnlike traditional weight forward lines, the Premier Creek excels when fishing between approximately 10 and 30 feet. At the same time, the taper retains enough body to make longer casts whenever more space becomes available.Its supple coldwater core minimizes memory and keeps the line handling smoothly in cold conditions.Premium RIO TechnologyRIO's SlickCast coating creates an exceptionally slick, durable surface for effortless casting and long-lasting performance. MaxFloat Tip Technology keeps the front section floating higher on the water for easier mending and improved drift control.DualTone technology marks the ideal loading point of the head, while EasyID makes line identification quick and simple. Welded loops at both ends provide fast and reliable rigging.Key Features of the Premier Creek Fly LineDesigned specifically for small streams and tight trout waterLoads quickly at short casting distancesIdeal for dry flies, small nymphs and soft hacklesSupple coldwater coreSlickCast ultra-slick coatingMaxFloat Tip for superior flotationDualTone head markerEasyID printed line identificationWelded loops at both ends (*)(*) Only the WF-0-F does not have any loops because of weight issues.Length: 19,8 m (#0 - #2) / 22,8 m (#3 - #4)Colour: green/yellowAvailable line classes:ModellFull Head LengthFull Line LengthWF030ft (9.1m)65ft (20m)WF130ft (9.1m)65ft (20m)WF230ft (9.1m)65ft (20m)WF330ft (9.1m)75ft (23.1m)WF430ft (9.1m)75ft (23.1m)RIO Technologies Max Float TipTired of floating lines that work like Sink Tips? Fact is, the reduced coating at the narrow, tapered end of most floating lines doesn’t have enough buoyancy to stay above water. RIO’s MaxFloat Tips solves this age-old problem. Our all-new, proprietary tip coating formula floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter. That puts maximum floatation right where you need it for reduced drag, longer presentations and quieter pickups. Max CastMaxCast is a ultra-sophisticated line coating, made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula. It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
