It’s evident Sage fly rods happen to be the best fly fishing rods from the view of world record fly fishermen.
Having 75 world records, as listed in the International Game Fish Association’s 2007 World Record Game Fishes book, Sage Fly Fishing has more than 3 times the amount of records as the next closest competitor (G. Loomis had 24).
And while many fly rod manufactures talk the talk in relation to conservation, Sage walks the walk.
Sage is at the forefront of conservation, whether it’s joining up up with RIO and Redington to fight the Pebble Mine in the Bristol Bay Region of Alaska, or maybe downsizing its print catalog to concentrate its resources on its website -- to find a brand new fly fishing rod along with helpful resources such as a great cast analyzer.
