The Sage Foundation is a 4-piece fly rod series that spans trout through light salt. The 4wt 9' is a lighter trout stick for dry flies and smaller nymphs, with an emphasis on line control and accuracy. Step to the 5wt 9' when you want one trout rod that will cover a wide spread of fly sizes and a mix of line densities without getting picky.
In 6wt, Sage shifts the Foundation toward power: the 9' is aimed at big-river trout work and smallmouth bass, with the reach to push larger, wind-resistant flies in heavy wind. The 9'1" 6wt adds a fighting butt and an anodized aluminum reel seat for anglers throwing big streamers or bass bugs all day. The 7wt range includes a 10' option focused on mending and line control, while the 7wt 9' is the “do a lot of jobs” weight, including streamer fishing and bonefish.
