Sage went back to the drawing board to create the incredible Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods. By improving the entire
rod-building process, Sage created a rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels.
The Z-Axis offers an entirely new level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance.

Built with the same advanced G5 Technology as Sage's Z-Axis rods, the most obvious nymph-specific feature of the 99 is
its namesake 9-foot, 9-inch length, which makes short work of long, drag-free drifts. But that’s just the beginning. The 99’s
unique taper loads lower on the blank to generate open loops, helping avoid tangles with multiple fly and indicator rigs. At
the same time, a stiffer tip section handles heavy payload delivery but retains the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes.
Combine near weightlessness with a ground breaking level of performance, and the result is Sage's TXL Series rods.
Through Sage's exclusive Generation 5 Technology, they've built an amazingly light fly rod, while increasing strength,
smoothness and sensitivity to "line feel." In angling terms, that means you'll cast better, fish more effectively and enjoy
yourself more. We're especially proud to offer the TXL in the revolutionary 000, or "triple-ought" line weight.

The ZXL rods are significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a
smooth progressive taper. Through the miracle of their G5 process, Sage was able to remove every gram of unnecessary
material from each blank and replace traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite.

Through their exclusive SaltH2O Technology, Xi3 blanks provide a groundbreaking level of torque and torsion resistance
for superior tracking and less wasted energy at all distances. SaltH2O’s unique layer interface and proprietary resin also
combine for maximum strength—even in high heat environments—and significantly less weight.

This increased strength comes in handy when you need to lean on powerful saltwater bruisers. Just as importantly, it gives
you the backbone to pick up 60 or 70 feet of line on desperate second (and last) chance casts.

Sage's G5 construction adds improved line feel for easier, more intuitive casting, and specialized saltwater-specific
components complete the package. In other words, the new Xi3 is everything you need to make that first shot count.
The ONE rod is Sage's flagship offering that may redefine the “all-around” rod category, where precision
casting accuracy is needed over a wide range of conditions. Hand crafted from Sage's Konnetic technology
three long years in the making, the ONE rod is a game changer. Your game. Its fast action incorporates a built
in sweet spot, making the ONE rod the ideal choice for experienced and aspiring casters alike.

Heavy fishing pressure pushes trout out of their soft glides into faster, choppy runs protected by rocks and
structure. Europeans developed a style of direct line nymphing using multiple, weighted flies fished under
tension on light tippets to systematically dissect these micro-environments, catching fish when no other
method could. The new ESN Series with Konnetic technology makes for an extremely light rod, ideal for the
repetitive casts this precision method requires. Its responsive, supple tip telegraphs every boulder, bump and
bite, giving you ultimate control.

When you’re casting big flies onto weed mats to trigger attacks from the bucketmouths below, you’re in for a
day of spectacular strikes and big memories—maybe even a tournament title. New for 2012, the Bass II rods
have been upgraded for faster line speed to carry big, bulky flies straight to their target—everything from
explosive smallmouth in their river lairs, to voracious snook and tarpon stealthfully pulled from the mangroves
on your kayak. The new Peacock model joins this year’s lineup, a true heavyweight ready to go toe-to-toe with
giant Muskie, Pike and Peacock Bass.
