Going Big

In preparation for a couple of trips later this season for some large redfish, king salmon and other large fish that could get in our way, Ms. Floatfisher and I continue to add to our quiver of new rods. Add in the new Sage SALT 1090-4. We cast it this weekend for the first time and what a joy, of course , this big gun, is just a little out of our normal league, so we want to get a little time practicing. Matching it with our Hatch #9 , this is a dream duo. 

It throws a nice short line at 40-50' ft. , but also extending it out, it will punch into a breeze.
As mentioned, we have a lot more practice to go, look forward to more on future blogs.

OFFERING SALTWATER ANGLERS PRECISION AND 
POWER WITH THE SALT

For the incredible diverse range of casting demands placed on the saltwater angler, the accuracy, strength and precision of Konnetic Technology, has enabled us to craft a fly rod like no other saltwater rod before it. The SALT is a fast loading, high-line speed salt-action rod that gives you the confidence to know that you're ready for anything that salt can throw at you. Sight casting smaller flies out to nervous bones finning along the flat in only four inches of water? Quickly and precisely drop the fly where they'll see it without spooking. Casting to tarpon that appear suddenly in a gusting wind? The SALT's decidedly robust salt-action taper gives you the power to maximize today's heavier fly lines to deliver flies of all ranges with effortless precision.

KONNETIC TECHNOLOGY - Greatest Accuracy
Accurately putting a fly where you need it - every time - is the foundation of fly fishing 
success. Improved accuracy is a result of smoother tracking, increased line speed and line control, 
all features of our revolutionary Konnetic Technology. Creating an impossibly light blank
with enhanced tip-to-hand sensitivity, Konnetic Technology utilizes our Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS) that places carbon fiber to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength and efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. This highly responsive and robust blank offers significant enhanced torsional stability and minimal vibration of casts that track effortlessly and accurately.

- New formulated proprietary carbon/ resin composite
- Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS)
- High Compression Molding (HCM) for increased fiber density
- Denser wall for faster response and blank recovery
- Optimized core and axial fiber material positioning
