SAGE FOUNDATION Outfit - perfect for beginning and advanced casters!

Beginning casters can easily grow with this rod without ever feeling they've outgrown it. The outfits come with an 2200 reel, RIO Gold Fly line, backing, leader and protective rod/reel case.

 

 

Each FOUNDATION Outfit contains...

  • SAGE Foundation Fly Rod (please choose line class above!)
  • SAGE 2200 series reel

Scandi Short VersiTip Shooting Head

The Scandi Short VersiTip shooting head was developed and designed for smaller rivers and tight casting situations. It is one of the easiest casting designs ever made. Including the tips, the whole head length is only 33 ft (10,1 m), which works particularly well on switch rods and shorter, modern spey rods. The head comes with four different 10 ft (305 cm) long tips; a floating, an intermediate, a type 3 and a type 6 densitiy compensated sink tip. The Scandi Short Head can be used also with longer 15 ft tips or with MOW tips if required. This VersiTip system works extremely well on single handed rods, thought users should choose 3 line classes under the Spey AFTMA standard. Colour: straw/orange Loop with EasyID included tips -floating-Intermediate-Sinking DC3-Sinking DC6 Processed RIO-Technologies XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge­neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance. Density Compensated (only" S6?)RIO’s Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinks straight.  ConnectCoreRIO’s ConnectCore full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success.  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.

990-4 SALT R8 Special Edition Fly Rod

MORE FIGHT, MORE TOUCH - The 990-4 SALT R8 as a limited "Rod of the Year 2023" Edition. Most salt rods are built for pure power and ultimate strength—that is table stakes for the venue and the discipline. With SAGEs new R8 graphite, adding 25% more strength-per-weight was the easy part—a simple function of material advancement—but one that also increased the fight in the rod even down to our six-weight. SAGE increased the pure pulling power without the need to add more material, fillers or reinforcement. The outcome is simple, providing the ability for faster landing times and reducing fish stress and catch-and-release pressure on ever so delicate ecosystems. More strength and fight were an obvious upgrade, yet few salt rods, especially in the heavier weights, achieve the importance of feel for fine touch shots and precise presentations. Shaping a taper that brought this increased touch into the equation took more time. Yet after a long residence in the birthplace of saltwater fly fishing, and working directly with the experienced guides there, our rod designers found the right profile and fiber alignment that delivered strength, fine touch presentation, and a more intuitive sweet spot to a class of rods that have long had a reputation as unwieldy, unforgiving and difficult. With the SALT R8, gone are the days of sacrificing the feel and touch in your saltwater rod. Whether maximizing your limited shots for Tarpon or blocking the right moon cycle for a Permit trip—or just delivering a quick, confident cast through wind at distance—saltwater is a game where patience and urgency are equally critical to maximizing opportunity. Whether on idyllic flats, coastal beaches or backcountry mangroves, you need faith—in your cast, your reaction time and your choice of rod. While saltwater locales often move slower, the fishing is faster, the pressure more intense and the variables more variable. From wind, weather and tides to spooky fish, seasonal migrations and salty guides, it’s a different game with a different set of rules in venues that range from tournaments and Grand Slam flats to legendary bonefish lodges and hushed redfish beaches. The shots are fewer, the stakes are higher and seconds matter in sight fishing. By the third false cast, your time—at least for that fish—has passed. But more than just delivering a fly on demand, saltwater sight fisheries necessitate a different tool than what works for your standard trout stream. A rod that loads quickly and predictably, a sweet spot more intuitive to feel. More strength to land fish quicker and more touch for precision short shots. A more durable rod that is built to survive both long skiff runs and remote destinations - where broken rods are absolutely heartbreaking. A precisely honed taper that will ensure your fly is presented in the right place at the right time. For Sage, having Revolution 8 technology in hand meant now was the time to shape a dramatic advancement in saltwater rods that spoke to these truths right from the heart and birthplace of the discipline. Welcome to the SALT R8 — More Fight, More Touch. Features: Revolution 8 Technology Tempest Blue blank color Slate primary thread wraps with graduated White and Grey trim Titanium Fuji K-Guide ceramic stripper guides with oversized hard chromed snake guides and tip-top Laser etched line weight on slide band Black rod bag with new quick-tie cord lock for faster, easier, and cleaner storage Aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion Premium Flor grade full-wells cork handle with EVA fighting butt Heavy-Duty anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat with Integrated hidden hook keeper in reel seat Technical Details: Line size: 9 Length: 9'0" (275 cm) Handle: Full-Wells wth Eva Fighting Butt Parts: 4-geteilte Fliegenrute Tube-Length: 77 cm Weight: 115 g Special Edition with "Rod of the Year 2023" printed on the blank Through the following Link you'll find all other SAGE R8 Saltwater Fly Rods: SALT R8 series
