Since their foundation in 1980 Sage have grown from a small, dedicated team in Bainbridge Island, Washington State, hand making fly-rods, to the industry leader they are today, still hand making fly-rods in Bainbridge USA; just with a larger team.

Australia has been the perfect proving ground for Sage over the years. The first proper saltwater fish on fly in Australia have often been tamed by Sage rods. The amount of power and flexibly that the Sage design ethos demands means that you’ll never run out of power when you need to push your fishing to the limit in the ever-changing Australian fly-fishing environment. Obviously, Australia is not just salt-water flyfishing, as we know here at Tom’s in the Snowy mountains! Sage was founded in trout country and have always been at home in the freshwater. In the vast fishing playground that is Australia there is a Sage rod for chasing everything from Trout to Barramundi.

IS SAGE A GOOD BRAND?

Sage is the industry leader in fly fishing rods. Their innovations in technology and design generally have flow on effects throughout the fly-fishing industry. Since the release of their first models, the RP (Reserve Power), in 1982 the have led the field in fast-action modern material fly-fishing rods.

Sage is not just known for their excellent rod design (culminating in the R8) but also for their excellent customer service and legendary warranty. Sage rods have a lifetime warranty for the original owner against defects etc. and a fantastic and reasonably priced repairs program. All repairs and warranty claims are taken care of in house by Sage in Bainbridge Island and their dedicated team takes pride in making sure all repairs are undertaken with the same care that their rods are built with; ensuring any repaired section perfectly matches the existing blank.

WHAT PRODUCTS DO THEY MAKE?

Sage not only makes some of the finest Fly-rods in the world, but Sage Reels are also pioneering examples of form following function to create some of the most durable and high-performing fishing hardware available. Sage have been designing and making reels since 1984 and once again have been industry leaders in new materials and production. Sage revolutionised reel design in 2001 by introducing the first Sealed Carbon Drag System (SCS). Carbon allows for much more versatility in both fresh and saltwater fishing situations, being able to withstand high pressure and heat, and is included throughout the Sage range in reels.
