The latest version of thier Generation 5 (G5) Technology that is best defined by improvements across the entire rod building process. To start with, SAGE's exclusive analysis software helped them to better evaluate the performance requirements of every inch of rod blank, allowing them to eliminate all unnecessary material. At the same time, they made signifigant advances in their Aligned Fiber Technology, which, most signifigantly, replaces traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite. This, of course, required them to develop new construction techniques to align and compress these rods for maximum strength.They also created improved taper designs for each Z-Axis rod. The G5 process gave them an opportunity to reach previously unattainable levels of line feel, response and performance. It also allowed them to design rods that better fit the modern casting style, with the tip strength to bail you out on a missed stroke and the power to more easily punch flies into the wind.The result?.....An entirely new level of fishability...and a worthy replacement for the infamous XP!
All SAGE Z-Axis Switch Rods featured here! They are all 11 footers, 4 pieces. These are the favorite of several of the guides that we work with both in Ohio and Michigan. The 7wt is the best seller in Ohio and the 8wt is perfect for Michigan.
**Please note that the Z-Axis Switch rods are STILL in the line for 2012- the single handed models have been discontinued
