Sage X Premium Spey Outfit

Items included in this package

• Sage X Spey Rod

  The new Sage X Spey rods have replaced the Sage One as Sage's premium, fast-action Spey rod.  The X rods feature a new version of the Konnetic Technology that made the One, Method, and Mod Spey rods so popular.  This new version, called KonneticXD Technology and, as described by Sage, gives the Sage X greater blank recovery and a crisper tip stop for tighter, more efficient loops during the cast.  Sage also describes the new technology benefit as allowing the caster to dig deeper into the rod and access the lower sections, shifting power closer to the angler. Each Sage X rod comes in a handsome, dark green, aluminum rod tube with a cloth rod sock.  The blank color of the Sage X is black at first glance, but with dark green highlights in the sunshine.  Thread wraps are very dark green with metallic gray trim wraps.  The cork grips on these rods are flor grade and look amazing. Offered in the 12' 6wt (6120-4), the 13' 7wt (7130-4) and the 13' 8wt (8130-4), but we can accommodate for any of the Sage X Spey or Switch rods in the line-up. If you would prefer a different weight and length then the three we are offering, just give us a call and we'll be happy to get you the rod you want! Contact us.  More info.

• Sage Spey Reel
  

  The Sage Spey reels are absolutely awesome! They have an old school look to them and are packed with great modern features. Let nostalgia take over with the Sage Spey reel, a modern throwback to the vaunted Sage 500 Series reels. The reel is fully machined from anodized aluminum and has minimal porting to increase weight and durability, to balance better on long spey rods, and add ballast to the casting stroke. The reel features a full cage frame design for added durability as well as keeping thin running line where it should be. It has a very powerful fully sealed easily adjustable drag, and a large reel handle that is easy too find even with cold hands and gloves on. It also comes with a Sage neoprene reel cover for protection. Available in Stealth (black/silver) or Bronze. More info.

• RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch Shooting Head
  

  We paired our Sage X Spey outfits with RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch shooting heads. Skagit Max Launch heads are very popular, and for good reason. Skagit Max Launch heads are very nice casting lines which are capable of very tight, good looking loops, and make casting large heavy flies and sink tips very easy and fun. The back few feet of the head is dark blue, transitioning into a aqua blue front section of the shooting head. The dark blue in the back of the head makes it easy to see the junction from the shooting head to the running line in any light conditions, something that is overlooked in some other lines out there. The dark blue section also makes tracking the line through the swing really easy.   More info.

• RIO Elite Metered Shooting Line

  RIO’s Elite Metered Shooting Line is an excellent shooting line that is easy to handle, has virtually zero stretch, and flies through the guides with ease. RIO's "RangeFinder" system features a color change every 10ft to easily gauge how far each cast is, and also helps in managing the running line when shooting a lot of line. Built with RIO's ConnectCore plus core to provide positive hooksets and better control when fighting a fish. The unique core also ensures the most perfect coils of line when stripping in – resulting in far few tangles and snarls. Bulletproof loops at both ends and a slight taper at the front of the Elite Metered Shooting provides a seamless transition from the shooting line to the shooting head.

From skating dries in greasy tailouts, to hovering a fly behind boulders, to dredging deep buckets.  More info.

• Scientific Anglers Backing

  Scientific Anglers' backing is very thin, highly durable and the colors are colorfast. We've been using it for years on everything from trout to billfish and haven't run into a single inconsistency. Your outfit will come with the perfect amount backing already loaded onto the reel and attached to your line. We only use the best knots to rig your setup. We use the Bimmini Twist loop knot then seal it with glue to connect your backing to your running line.  More info.

• RIO Steelhead & Salmon Leader - 6-foot

  RIO's Steelhead and Salmon Leaders are perfectly designed for anadromous species such as steelhead and salmon. Its clear, non-glare finish disappears in all water conditions. Its knotless taper has a thicker butt section and uses a slightly stiffer copolymer for abrasion-resistance and for turning over larger flies. The leader already comes with a perfection knot on the butt of the leader and will come in the package already attached to a sink-tip on your reel. Just add fly and go fishing! More info.
