Sage Signal Rod

Don't let Sage's photo of a tiny baby bonefish fool you - these rods are made for everything the saltwater can throw at you. The Deschutes Angler Fly Shop crew spends several weeks per year prowling the flats of Christmas Island, the mangroves and flats of Mexico, and all other far-flug saltwater destinations from Australia to South Africa, to Central America, We know salt and we know great rods, and this is one of them. We love the value price point for this Sage rod. Get yourself into the saltwater game! You will not regret it. 

Here is what Sage has to say about the Signal rods:

Saltwater fly fishing is a story of signs. Subtle cues that pique our senses, inform our responses and, when read correctly, catch us fish. Tails breaking the tranquil spell of an untrammeled flat. The adrenaline-inducing V-wake of an oversized, opalescent permit with a crustacean infatuation. The quickening motion of your guide’s weathered hands, working the push pole with fresh determination – signaling it’s your time to shine. New SAGE Signal answers the call with a smart blend of responsive loop control, tenacious strength and uncomplicated castability. A beacon for how it all begins and
where you belong.

All models are 9 foot four-piece rods with full wells grip and an EVA fighting butt in "sea smoke" blue finish. Each Sage Signal Rod in your quiver is made for a different job or different fish. Here is the detailed description of each rod:
