Sage 99 899-4, 9'9' #8 Weight Fly Rod

The Sage 99 899-4 is the weapon of choice for indicator techniques on medium to large steelhead rivers.  A great choice for both Great lakes or West Coast fishing. Built with the same advanced G5 Technology as our Z-Axis rods, the most obvious nymph-specific feature of the 99 is its namesake 9-foot, 9-inch length, which makes short work of long, drag-free drifts. But that’s just the beginning. The 99’s unique taper loads lower on the blank to generate open loops, helping avoid tangles with multiple fly and indicator rigs. At the same time, a stiffer tip section handles heavy payload delivery but retains the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes.
