Winner of the ICAST Best of Show, Sage Salt HD Fly Rods have increased power, improved accuracy, and are lighter for all day use. Sage Salt HD rods have an amazing ability to slice through the wind, throw laser tight loops, and deliver flies precisely where intended. Casting feels almost effortless thanks to new cutting edge KonneticHD Technology. These new technologies produce a rod blank that is ultra light, with a thinner diameter, enhancing feel and responsiveness, yet is significantly stronger. 

Sage Salt HD rods are intuitive, with highly efficient energy transfer, while eliminating vibration and tip bounce. These rods load with one back cast at close range for quick shots to cruising fish, and throw bullet loops long distances in windy conditions. Sage Salt HD rods help any angler become a better saltwater caster, making them better anglers, and ultimately leading to more hook-ups and fish landed.

The Sage Salt HD 12wt 9'0" fly rod is the best rod on the planet for targeting big tarpon. This rod is also a great choice for giant trevally, golden dorado, roosterfish, and sharks. The Salt HD 12wt is an incredibly powerful, fast action rod that will shred the wind and effortlessly cast saltwater flies long distances. This rod also excels at quick shots, because it loads quickly and tracks true, delivering your fly precisely on target. The Salt HD 12wt is a versatile rod to cover the largest saltwater species, and is lighter in the hand than other 12wt rods, so fatigue is less of an issue. This is the ultimate fly rod for big tarpon. 

Sage Salt HD rods are beautifully finished in a squid ink blue color, with black thread wraps and complimentary blue trim wraps. Oversized hard chromed snake guides and tip-top ensure large saltwater knots slide smoothly, and the heavy-duty black anodized aluminum reel seat is dual uplocking to ensure your reel stays locked in tight. These rods are finished with a premium full-wells cork handle and a laser etched line weight on the slide band, and safely protected in a Sage rod sock and premium Sage aluminum rod tube. Every Sage Salt HD is hand crafted by the same 27 sets of expert hands on Bainbridge Island, WA in the USA.

NEW! RIO ELITE FLATS PRO FLY LINE

RIO's New Eilte Flats Pro saltwater fly line is designed for anglers hitting tropical flats in search of bonefish, permit and tarpon. The line is built on RIO's new DirectCore and Slickcast coating, a proprietary low-memory, low-stretch monofilament core that retains its stiffness in tropical heat, yet lies straight on the water without curl or retraction. The core, which has 30% less stretch than regular tropical saltwater fly lines, casts further, ensures solid strip sets, and shortens fight times. The Slickcast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market-producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.

RIO Flats Pro lines incorporate the SureFire triple color, distance-marking design that takes the guesswork out of accuracy and distance control, allowing anglers to make higher percentage shots to cruising targets. The DirectCore Flats Pro line is available in floating models and a clear tip "StealthTip" option that features a full-float head with six feet of clear intermediate at the tip. This nearly invisible front section allows for shorter leaders and easier, more accurate casts, while the increased density provides greater wind penetration. 

FEATURES:

• Agressive front taper loads rods quickly, shreds the wind, and throws stable tight loops
  
• Slickcast - The slickest and most durable coating. 
• Easy annealing, low memory core that lays perfectly straight on the water
  
• Low stretch DirectCore Technology casts further and provides solid strip set
  
• Mid-length head and long rear taper for tight loops and complete line control
  
• High floating running line makes picking up line and casting easier
  
• Welded front and back loops for fast, easy rigging changes
