Sage "99 Series" Fly Rods
NEW! SAGE "99" FLY ROD SERIES These are DREAM RODS for both tailwater trout and steelhead/salmon fly fishers. I fished the 99 5-wt on the Roaring Fork River in Colorado this past September (Bob). High-stick nymphing and quick, efficient line mends made fishing the fast currents and variable seam-lines nearly effortless. Specifically designed for fishing multiple-fly or indicator rigs, the 99 rods load lower down on the blank which can be interpreted as being a softer action than the Sage Z-Axis series. This allows for a slightly slower line speed and more open loop that results in less tangling issues that are so common with multi-fly rigs. At the same time, the tip actually has greater stiffness. This ensures that the tip will not buckle under the weight of a multi-fly rig when casting. A perfect blend of rod taper design utilizing the Sage G5 technology creates the "magic" element, which is a strong tip that maintains the delicacy needed to detect subtle hits. The guide configuration on the 99 rods is specifically designed to stack mend efficiently, shake out/feed line easily and manipulate the line with ease. Although 99 rods are only a few inches shorter than the Z-Axis 10-footers, there is a significant difference weight and balance wise, which makes the 99 rods easier to cast over a long day. MAIN IDEA: 99 rods fish like 10' rods, but cast like 9'6" rods. 4 and 5-weight rods are equipped with Dark Nickel-colored aluminum reelseats with Cocobolo wood inserts and Reverse Half Wells grips. 6 thru 8-weight rods are outfitted with Dark Nickel-colored aluminum reelseats and Full Wells grips with fighting-butt.
