My Fly Shop  800-663-6407

Founded in 1980 by renowned rod designer Don Green and quickly joined by Bruce Kirschner (formerly of K2 Skis), Sage was created with one idea in mind - to build the world's finest performance fly fishing equipment. Using innovative, world-class materials and years of experience gained while working with Fenwick and Grizzly rod companies, Don revolutionized the fly fishing world.

While overshadowed by Sage’s rod innovation and expertise, Sage has designed and manufactured reels since the introduction of the 500 Series in 1984. The same meticulous design, attention to detail, and “form follows function� mantra from Sage’s rod design and manufacturing drives Sage’s reel innovation.

Fast action rods have always been a part of your success, and the METHOD gives you more of what you love most.

Fast action rods have always been a part of your success, and the METHOD gives you more of what you love most. Like our fastest line speeds to punch through the wind and to carry the biggest, bulkiest, heaviest flies in your box out to where they can strut their stuff.

Konnetic™ technology is an extremely advanced process; Sage married the best aerospace-grade materials they could find with all new manufacturing methods and processes. The most difficult of those processes is the Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS), that precisely aligns the bundles of high modulus carbon fibers along the taper of the blank for ultimate strength and straight tracking during casting. The blank’s dramatically smaller diameter and lighter weight is realized by compacting carbon fibers and proprietary resins using High Compression Molding (HCM) process, simultaneously fusing the 50% lighter all-carbon fiber inner core.

Designed for two-handed aficionados who know that even perfect casts always have room for improvement, the METHOD is the two-handed casting machine they've been waiting for.

When you know you’ve got something special, you want as many people as possible to get their hands on it right away. In fact, both hands. Designed for two-handed aficionados who know that even perfect casts always have room for improvement, the METHOD is the two-handed casting machine they’ve been waiting for. Constructed using our now thoroughly battle-proven Konnetic Technology®, it features a seriously smooth, ultra-fast action that generously provides that most important quality needed for effortless two-handed cast: tremendous line speed. Thanks to its aggressive butt-to-tip taper that optimizes loading energy and flawlessly transfers it through the forward cast—plus vibration free tracking for exquisite accuracy—the METHOD smoothly snaps out the tightest of loops to carry the fly straight out to your target. All while being superbly light for all-day casting without fatigue. Big water. Big flies. Big fish. Big fun.

The Sage MOD Fly Rods feature rod weights from 2-6 for single-handed rods, and a 6-7 weight Spey option.

Throughout this line Sage describes the action as moderate, (hence the name MOD). Moderate action that isn't too fast or too slow, perfect for any matching weight Airflo, Rio, or SI tapered fly line.
