NEW! SAGE PAYLOAD 789-4 FLY ROD : 7WT 8'9"

The New 2020 Sage Payload Fly Rods, feature a powerful taper and design for chasing larger fish with big flies in fresh or saltwater conditions. The Sage Payload 7wt 8'9" is one of our favorites weight and length for targeting bass in the rivers or lakes, or the ultralight saltwater angler for smaller bonefish, and redfish. The 7wt Payload is perfect to add a sinking line and heavy fly to target the larger fish especially if you are a river smallmouth or big brown stream junkie.

Big fish, huge flies, windy conditions. While not always the case, these are often the situations you will face in warmwater and saltwater environments when targeting large predators. With a powerful but comfortable casting action, the new Sage Payload Fly Rods are designed to help anglers cast those heavy lines and big flies more effectively, with much less effort. Whether launching a double-articulated streamer for big browns with the Payload 7wt or making long, quick shots to cruising tarpon with the Payload 11wt, anglers will appreciate how easy it is to accurately punch a heavy line and bulky fly straight into the wind. 

Sage Payload Fly Rods feature a very stiff, powerful fast action, delivering tight loops and higher line speeds that send bulky or weighted flies straight to their target. The stiff tip has the backbone to pick up heavy lines up off the water, while a more forgiving butt section tranfers power and feel so you don't need a fast, agressive casting stroke - like many ultra stiff broomstick rods. This slightly softer butt section also allows for added leverage while fighting fish, making it easier to gain ground on hard fighting species. The slightly shorter length allows for a more effortless and accurate cast and is ideal for casting in and around cover along the shoreline and excels from the drift boat. The Sage Payload is guaranteed to be your go-to rod when chasing large predators.
