Sage Foundation Fly Fishing Outfit

Equipped with a high-performance blank (Graphite IIIe), the Foundation™ has a fast action providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It’s the very foundation of what defines a Sage® rod – performance.

For over 35 years the folks at Sage have built performance rods one at a time on Bainbridge Island, WA. The same 27 sets of skilled hands that craft all Sage rods construct the Foundation.
