Equipped with a high-performance blank (Graphite IIIe), the FOUNDATION has a fast action providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It's the very foundation of what defines a Sage rod – Performance - taking your game to another level.
Sage Foundation Outfit Performance Details:
Accuracy and Control: A fast action provides the capability to stay tight to the line and in control of the presentation, while the high line speed drives a tight loop that assists in laser accuracy in technical dry fly situations. With a sensitive tip section to protect light tippets, a versatile balance between accuracy and delicacy is achieved.
Durability and Power: Graphite IIIe Technology brings power and durability resulting in a more connected feel throughout the casting stroke, making longer and more accurate casts possible. Constructed using glass scrims within layers of graphite, Graphite IIIe rods are noted for their light weight, dependability, and smooth feel.
Made in the USA: Sage is not a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who design and build the world’s best fly rods and reels using their hands and hearts. Sage Fly Rods are built one at time on Bainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passing through 23 sets of hands. Their reels are also designed and precision-crafted with exclusive USA carbon to tolerance only Sage can deliver.
