Great rod for the value. Easy to cast and well balanced. Very light and durable. Sage has great customer service/return policy even on their cheapest rods.

This was my first 6wt rod and it is perfect for that transition from a beginner rod into the more expensive range.

Have used for mainly nymphing but also larger dry flies and it doesn't disappoint.

Overall great rod and would recommend to any angler

Not looking to spend a grand on a rod for yourself or your fanatic-fly-fishing-friend?

This is the rod for you! It’s got enough punch to throw smaller streamers, and is just soft enough to use for larger dry flies. With a little casting practice you’ll find that you don’t need to bring any other rods with you (unless you want to, of course).

I’ve used this rod to hook into fish almost every week of this year, and as soon as I do something dumb enough to break it, I’ll be back to the shop for another sage rod!

4/5 stars only because of the SAGE repair department.

novice fly fisher here. Intentionally purchases a solid "foundation" of equipment to set me up for success. This rod has great touch, feel that is necessary for a beginner. happy with the purchase
