SAGE X 697-4COMMAND THE WATERThe X rod’s all-new fast action taper built with our KonneticHD Technology delivers greater blank recovery and a crisper tip stop - creating tighter, more efficient loops throughout all ranges of casting styles. This taper allows you to dig deeper into the rod and access the lower sections, shifting power closer to the angler. Decreased lateral and medial movement and vibrations in the blank result in a more accurate and efficient presentation, resulting in a performance driven, forgiving fast action blank - refining the synergy between angler, rod, line, and fly.FEATURESKonneticHD Technology®Black Spruce blank colorDark Green thread wraps with Metallic Grey trim wrapsFuji ceramic stripper guidesHard chromed snake guides and tip-topFreshwater 3 - 6 weights:Vera wood insert with Stealth Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seatFloor grade snub nosed half-wells cork handleSaltwater 5-10 weights:Stealth Black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seatIntegrated hidden hook keeper in reel seatFlor quality full-wells cork handle with EVA fighting buttLaser etched line weight on slide bandBlack rod bag with Titanium logo and Black Spruce model tagEvergreen powder coated aluminum rod tube with Sage medallionHandcrafted on Bainbridge Island, USA
