SAGE 490-4 TROUT LL ROD 4PC 4WT 9ft

Best for small to medium sized mayflies and caddis – An amazing all-around tool for the angler who plans the day around a dry fly hatch but also wants to mix in some other techniques during a stale mid-day hour.

With a delicate touch and medium action, the TROUT LL family has been designed with the trout angler and dry flies in mind. Through blank taper optimization and specialized length offerings, the TROUT LL is perfected for wade fishing, closer casts, small flies, and light tippets. A relatively supple tip maximizes light tippet protection and gives way to a smooth easy-loading mid-section that increases feel and feedback throughout the casting stroke. When the hatch is on, the TROUT LL is an angler’s best friend.

Drawing inspiration from historic Sage rods of the past, the TROUT LL is a nod toward tradition with a classic appearance and a smooth casting taper, yet  adds modern performance features in accuracy and loop control through the  backbone of Konnetic HD blank material.

The TROUT LL series is available in a combination of classic dry fly line weights and lengths 7’9” though 9’0” while beautiful wood inserts and premium componentry add an elegant touch to these high performance rods
