Founded in 1980 by legendary rod designer Don Green, Sage was created with one idea in mind - to build the world's finest performance fly rods. Using world-class materials and years of experience gained while working with Fenwick and Grizzly rod companies, Don revolutionized the fly fishing world. Years of fly fishing experience had taught Don that fly rods should never run out of "power." While there might be fishing scenarios where the full power and flex of a fly rod were not utilized by the angler, the best designs were those that always held power in reserve. Hence the name Reserve Power was given to the new style of fly rod Don developed for extra long casts or for windy conditions. Thus the first major series of Sage fly rods was born. They were released in 1982 and they quickly became the most talked about fly rods in the world. Today, more than ever before, Sage fly rods remains focused on one goal which is best summarized by its statement of purpose: "We are passionate about our business of creating fly fishing products that continually exceed the fly angler's expectations.
