In a series of press releases prior to the EFTTEX tackle show in Europe, Sage and Rio have announced the new products coming for the fall 19- spring 2020 seasons. Sage has three new fly rod series coming, including the classically styled and named LL series. Classic Sage Light Line rods are still sought after and the new series celebrates the classic feel of those rods while incorporating new technology and performance. Sage has also revamped their Trout Spey offerings and is offering a new series of rods for streamer and warmwater fishing. The new Payload series is designed for throwing big flies with sinking and sink tip lines. Sage's Payload series will feature two Pike and Musky style rods to replace the discontinued Pike Musky rods. There will be a new Sage Fly Rod series for just about any freshwater fly angler. Stay tuned for more details and model specs. All new Sage Fly Rod models will be available in August 2019. The new Sage Rods will be available in our store or online.
