I’ve been a Sage Flyrod user since 1988. I bought my first rod in college and really could not afford it, but loved the company and the rod, so I found the money. Sage has definitely revolutionized the industry since then. I left fly fishing to start a family and raise kids and I am glad to see the company is still inventing and staying on the edge as I am coming back into the sport. I just bought two more rods and I am introducing fly fishing to my kids… on Sage rods of course.
