    NEW! SAGE PAYLOAD 989-4 FLY ROD : 9WT 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 9wt 8'9" is the perfect striper, redfish, snook, largemouth, or light pike rod. The Payload 9wt will effortlessly cast intermediate, full sinking, and dumbbell weighted flies. Gain power and distance with the New Sage Payload fly rod. 

    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 flats skiff. The Sage Payload is guaranteed to be your go-to rod when chasing large predators.

    Incredible marsh pond rod for redfish and black drum! (Louisiana) | July 26th, 2023
    I paired this up with the Tibor Everglades, using Rio Outbound Short for casting off the bow. Quick shots, no double false casts, it delivers the payload. It may not be the OG, but it’s definitely a killah. My favorite setup.
