SAGE 99 SERIES 799-4 FLY ROD (9'9", 7WT, 4PC)

Sage 99 Series Fly Rod

A day of multi-bug rigs, wind-resistant indicators and the requisite high-stick rod position can be enough to make your arm fall off before lunch. But the fact is, there simply isn’t a more reliable, effective technique for finding big fish. Which is why Sage created the 99.

Specifically designed for fishing multiple-fly or indicator rigs, the 99 Series rods load lower down on the blank which results in a softer action than the Sage Z-Axis series. This allows for a slightly slower line speed, more open loop resulting in less tangling issues that are inherent with multi-fly rigs. At the same time, the tip is stiffer, ensuring the tip will not flex too much under the weight of a multi-fly rig while casting. The 99 Series is a perfect blend of rod taper design utilizing the Sage G5 technology, creating these magical properties, which is a strong tip while maintaining the delicate rod feel needed to detect subtle hits.

Built with the same advanced G5 Technology as our 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.

The 99s also feature slightly oversized guides specifically placed to make stack mending, shake-out and line feeding easier. Put it all together and you have a light, perfectly balanced rod that casts like a 9-footer but fishes like a 10. High-Stickers rejoice!
