Today Sage is the market leader in fly-rod design and own the lion’s share of the high-end fly-rod market worldwide. Their rods are designed by Jerry Siem – arguably the finest caster of a fly rod we have ever clapped eyes on and a man who can cast an entire fly line without a fly rod! The ethos has been constant at Sage since the beginning: Perfecting Performance and the emphasis on design and function. The philosophy has remained simple and constant: specialty product for specialty anglers.

We here at Frontier Fly Fishing have been using Sage rods since the early ’90s. There’s a simple reason to own a Sage fly rod: they will give you superlative performance with backup service like no other premier rod brand in the world. In South Africa they offer the fastest turnaround time of any premier fly rod brand where repairs are concerned and their repair costs are by far the cheapest.
