No matter which saltwater challenges you face-from bonefish to billfish-Sage Xi2 Fly Fishing Rods let you concentrate on the fish instead of your casting. Built with Sages innovative Generation 5 (G5) Technology, Xi2 Fly Rods feel lighter and livelier than other saltwater rods. The Modulus Positioning System (MPS) that they developed for these rods provides a startling level of “line feel” throughout the casting stroke. This enhanced ability to feel the fly rod load allows you to apply power more efficiently; unmistakably the Xi2 Fly Fishing Rod. Click: www.flyfishingoutfitters.com Call: 1.866.672.1959

The TXL Fly Rod Series is the second in the Sage lineup to incorporate the use of Generation 5 Technology of graphite placement, and what a fly rod series it is! The TXL finally offers the fly angler both precise line control and, to borrow a Sage term, “fish-ability”, in a true ultra-light fly rod series. We were skeptical when we heard about these short rods in little itty-bitty line weights, but knowing the Sage design team, we withheld our opinion until we fished these little beauties. Well, as usual, Sage has succeeded. They’ve designed 000 to 4 weight rods (that’s right, a 000 weight!) under 8 feet that cast like bullets, yet fish like bamboo fly rods! These smooth casting fly rods are designed for tight fishing conditions, small tail-outs and pocket water where long casts are not the norm, but line and fly control is required! These tiny fly rods are perfect for casting small to medium flies and protecting the thinnest of tippets, even on big fish. To purchase go to: www.flyfishingoutfitters.com
