Maverick Blank
SAGE Maverick Blank - for building your own fly rod.Ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts. Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into “the zone” for high odds at a hookup. The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage’s new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick-shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities. With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.Features - Fly Rod BlanksKonnetic TechnologyPacific Blue blank colorTechnical Details - RodsModelLine ClassLength cmPartsHandleTube Length cmWeight g690-462754--108790-472754--111890-482754--113990-492754--1181090-4102754--1341190-4112754--1451290-4122754--1641486-4142604--186Primary Line Recommendations and DescriptionsModel Targeted Line RecommendationAll-Around Line RecommendationDescription690-4RIO Directcore Bonefish WF-6-FRIO DirectCore Flats Pro WF-6-FSkinny water / Stealthy presentations for spooky fish790-4RIO Directcore Bonefish WF-7-FRIO DirectCore Flats Pro WF-7-FSkinny water / Stealthy presentations with added wind and fish fighting power890-4RIO Directcore Bonefish WF-8-FRIO DirectCore Flats Pro WF-8-FAll-around saltwater tool and go-to bonefish rod990-4RIO Directcore Permit WF-9-FRIO DirectCore Flats Pro WF-9-FAll-around saltwater tool for windier days and larger/heavier flies1090-4RIO Directcore Permit WF-10-FRIO DirectCore Flats Pro WF-10-FFish-fighting power.

Trout Spey HD Blank
Build your unique SAGE Trout Spey fly rod.Featuring KonneticHD technology and a new fast action, the TROUT SPEY HD series of rods bring ease to lightweight spey techniques. Five rods from 10’3” to 11’3” excel with a variety of spey lines that are currently offered in 200-350gr sizes. The TROUT SPEY HD rods are primarily designed for spey casting as opposed to Switch rod style actions previously captured within Trout Spey category and features an action designed for skagit and scandi style casting techniques with trout appropriate sized flies. The TROUT SPEY HD action will improve upon the application with a more stable tip (a balance between stability and tippet protection) and a power adjustment to better handle Trout Spey specific lines currently on the market and the trend toward heavier lines. The added models in the series will give anglers more options to select appropriate sizes for their fishery (fly size, fish size, and environment), with a smaller 10’3” 3wt model designed to work well with the shorter spey heads that are extremely popular today. The two handed short-rod, short-head combination allows anglers to retrieve and fish flies much closer, opening up possibilities in tighter quarters and the ability to cover water more effectively.
