Jock guarding the All NEW SAGE Sonic fly rod - only $930

Sage Sonic 3 to 6 weight in stock
Sage's newest fly rod the Sonic is outstanding and affordable, but have been very hard to get. We have plenty, but they will go quickly. If you want one, don't delay buy it online while we still have stock.

Whether laying down dry flies with finesse or delivering wet flies to tailing trout, the SONIC family of rods provides uncompromised versatility, with a balance of power and feel.

We would describe the action as medium-fast, rather than extra-fast that most Sage rods subscribe to. It is delightfully progressive, crisp and lightweight, the SONIC has a level of performance that stands out from the crowd with a taper designed to cover a wide range of fishing applications from dry fly, streamers, to nymphing - floating lines to sinking. Built on Konnetic Technology blanks, casts with the SONIC are responsive in hand with excellent tracking qualities. Ready for any application the day has in store.

Delightfully finished in a Juniper shaft color with Hardwood insert (anodized aluminum matte slate on fighting-butt models), and charcoal thread wraps that blend into the blank accents, the SONIC sports a timeless and elegant look that fits into most any fly fishing environment. Handcrafted in the USA and packaged in a premium rod bag and tube, SAGE have created a family of rods ideal for any application - any angler.

We love the 5 weight in both the 9' model and for boat anglers the 9'6" 5 weight is to die with great ability to pick up and hold a lot of line in the air - then deliver it at distance. Both are superb dry fly rods.

All Sage rods are covered by replacement warranty for life. There is a shipping and handling cost, but any breakage for any reason can be remedied. If the dog ate the handle, or you ran over it - no problem. So long after you have fallen in love with this rod you can be assured it will be with you forever - if you want.

We stock 390, 490, 586, 590, 596 and 690. Numbers are limited and live on our website. If the rod you want has gone please phone and we will reserve one for you in the next shipment.

Shipping is FREE Australia wide.

Sneaky Creek outfit - fibreglass 3wt $295 for everything including delivery

Fishing with fibreglass is fun and with these rods it is not big bucks.

These 3pc Airflo Ambush fibreglass fly rod are here to satisfy that bendy stick urge when you've had your fast action fix. After all, no good things happen quickly and slowing down is a super way to enjoy small streams. Fibreglass is tough and can take abuse that would have modern graphite broken into many pieces. Perfect for scrub bashing creeks, for bendy under the kayak antics and kids that just want to have fun.

These are serious rods though that will deliver the shortest cast with delicacy and medium casts with finesse. If you are a long cast hero - good luck, because these rods are not designed for that.

Come and cast glass. We have lines and reels to suit, but the combos are great value. Shipping is Express and free.
Quality alloy reel seat with exotic wood insert
Silicon carbide stripper guides
Titanium coated single foot guides
Comes complete with Cordura rod tube and cloth bags

#3 weight combo/outfit
The 6'6" #3 weight also comes as a combo with a Flylab reel, backing, #3 weight line and leader, plus cordura rod tube. This is the perfect sneaky creek rod and is perfect under the willows. Whether you are casting ten feet or thirty this is a great outfit. It is almost impossible to break and throws super bow and arrow casts into impossible places. It is super value at $195 for the rod or $295 for the combo which includes rod, reel, line, leader, cordura tube and delivery. The rod alone was originally $250.

All you have to do is add a fly.

Includes Express postage in Australia.
