Sage's new PAYLOAD family of fly rods is designed for big flies, heavy lines and comfortable power. Modern warmwater and saltwater fly fishing feature larger flies and a variety of heavier and sinking fly lines - these Sage PAYLOAD fly fishing rods are tuned to handle these aggressive situations.
Sage PAYLOAD fly rods are designed with a fast action to help carry big flies and a powerful tip for picking heavy lines up off the water. The midsection of the Sage PAYLOAD fly rods is powerful and transitions to a more forgiving butt section to reduce fatigue when casting. The design of the butt section also generates more leverage when fighting fish. The shorter lengths of the Sage PAYLOAD fly rod helps create casts with less effort through a shorter lever.
