Sage VXP Fly Rods Sage VXP is the spotlight on the Work Bench this month. We currently use the VXP 697-4 on the drift boat, for schools and for bass. We have been fishing this rod hard all year long and as normal, the Sage rod was outstanding. This 9’6” 6-weight rod is perfect for what we do. The shaft has a taper that reduces weight, but enhances the power. The rod is responsive to all casting strokes. The combination of power in the butt, with a nice tip to protect small 5x tippet with big fish is simply outstanding. This rod retails for $525. http://www.sageflyfish.com The Pit River Company Wading Staff
We just got The Pit River Company wading staffs in and I have to tell you folks, they are nice. We used them in the last two Steelhead Schools – the students loved them and so did we. Made in the USA,Take a look at them http://pitrivercompany.com/ Trout Beads Single beads are truly the best single egg imitation that you can fish. From bright pure colors, to sparkle eggs, to mottled colors they truly match the hatch. They're a number of eggs out there with different manufactures, all fish the same - Great! Match the color to to time of the spawn. Hareline's Ice Dub On the workbench this month is a product that's not used for fishing, but rather for fly-tying: Hareline’s Ice Dub. We love this stuff. Caddis flies, buggers, damsels and everything else can use a little sparkle. Try it, you will love it. Sage VXP Spey Rods From delicate presentations to industrial strength sink tips and weighted flies, the VXP’s smooth, fast action helps you put the fly closer to your fish of choice. This new rod family is designed with more high modulus materials resulting in a lighter rod with a more slender shaft design and has a unique family feel that is consistent in varying fishing conditions. Better yet, the distinctive new taper design and responsive, easy-to-cast performance might just make VXP rods the finest value on the water. | Model # | Handle | Length | Line | | | Weight (oz.) | Price |

Sage Z-Axis Switch Rod The Sage Z-Axis Switch Rod is the rod that we use for our Switch Rod Schools. Sage has hit a home run with this rod series. We are currently using the 6110-4 Switch Rod. These rods are responsive, powerful and are built in the USA We went back to the drawing board to create the incredible Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods. By improving the entire rod-building process, we created a rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels. The Z-Axis offers an entirely new level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance. But don't take our word for it-visit a local fly shop and take it for a test spin. http://www.sageflyfish.com |
