Leland on the Specifications
When everything is one place it is amazing how quick you can get on the water! The Sage Rod and Reel Case gives you that speed for early entry. It has a unique drop-down or fold-down highly padded reel pouch for easy access. The nylon lined and sectioned tube is made of rough and tumble PVC which is protected and spruced up on the outside by Dupont Cordura and 1000 denier nylon. There is a cam locking shoulder strap and reverse coil YKK zipper (helps resist weather and grim, but is not water resistant). The D-ring gives you hanging possibilities and the luggage tag gives you instant identification. With the Sage Rod and Reel Case you can leave the aluminum tube and reel pouch at home.
Leland on Sage Luggage and Gear Bags
Why would your trust your fly rods and reels to anyone but a rod manufacturer? You know if a rod company is going to make luggage they are going to make the things strong. Sage has done just that, strong rip stop nylon, all the right number of pockets, and PVC covered with heavyweight Cordura. The rod/reel cases have enough paddling to use the reel case as pillow for that mid-day siesta. Okay not quite that much but you get the picture.
Leland on Luggage
The question is not whether to travel, but which bags should you take? In today's one bag does it all world there is fine line between what is a gear bag and a travel bag. With today's airline restrictions and since you just can't take luggage on the flats boat nor is a gear bag big enough for a week long trip, you need to find the right combination to get you and your stuff there. A good travel bag should be able to carry not only your technical clothes but also all the now deemed "non airline safe" equipment (like all your fly boxes). You may want the bag to be long enough to hold your 4 piece rods or you may even want wet areas for waders or flats sneakers. The options are endless that is why we have selected the bags we travel with and nothing else (Keith has the Fishpond, MJ has the Abel...) you get the picture. Gear bags need pockets and more pockets, period. Okay, they better be able to carry a few reels and all your fly boxes when you reach you destination. Because you cannot take it all, these bags had better be highly functional and since, more than likely it will be your carry-on, it better be stylish!

Sage on Conservation:
Something New From Sage:
“It’s difficult to fully appreciate the beauty of the fish we seek—a wild trout’s jeweled radiance, a striper’s robust profile, the immaculate chrome of a fresh-run steelhead—without coming to some kind of understanding about the places they live. Ultimately, these fish are the very essence of their home waters.
With this in mind, we as a company are working to become better caretakers of the water we love so much. [Our catalog] is one example of our efforts. Produced with soy ink on chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer recycled paper by a Forest Stewardship Council-certified printer, this publication makes a significantly lower impact on the environment than a traditional catalog. Our hope is that you’ll see the value of what we’re doing and refer to our website for the full lineup of rods, reels and other gear.
Will this change the world? Not by a long shot. We understand the small steps we’re taking—such as doing away with paper order forms or replacing worn office carpet with sustainable products—won’t save the environment on their own. But it’s a start. We’re also continuing our support of groups like the Hoh River Trust, the Haig-Brown Institute, the Federation of Fly Fishers and Trout Unlimited. And, as one of 37 companies making up the Sportsman’s Alliance for Alaska, we’re committed to fight the disastrously planned Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay. Small steps, yes. But we think they’re in the right direction.
If it only makes a small difference, you may ask, why would we give up something as important as our catalog? Or go out of the way to make our day-to-day work more difficult? Or spend valuable time and resources on projects that will never generate a profit? The only answer is another question: As a company of people who live to fish, how could we not? See you on the water.”
Sage on Fly Fishing:
"Kids at Play: Remember when you got so excited you couldn’t sleep the night before fishing? Or how your hands shook with anticipation trying to rig up? Or the hopes held in a morning’s thrilling first cast?
Of course, after a lifetime of fishing, it’s awfully easy to become jaded. Tales of huge fish in exotic destinations are a long way from the kid who, fearing he’d sleep past dawn, lay on his back in the tent, holding tennis shoes above his face. In the unlikely event he should actually drift off, the shoes would bounce off his head to wake him. And that was just to catch first light at the local bluegill pond.
In the soul of every angler lives the kind of fun we felt as kids. It’s what keeps our love for fishing alive. A psychologist might say we’re harboring some kind of Peter Pan complex, but for us, it’s what fly fishing is really all about. It might also explain why people are always asking anglers when they plan to “grow up.”
We feel the same kind of excitement about introducing our new Z-Axis rods. We knew it wouldn’t be easy to replace our much-loved XP line, but after spending the last three years in deep R&D, we are positively giddy about these rods. When the people who work here start fighting over who gets to fish the prototypes, well, you know you’re on to something.
We’d also like to introduce you to J.D. Love and Brian Horsley, who provide the kind of on-the-water-every-day input that’s essential to creating rods with maximum fishability. J.D. and Brian are “serious” anglers, but even after decades of guiding, both retain a kid’s excitement about fishing. Our kind of people. Whether you last felt the anticipation that leads to sleepless nights and shaking hands a week ago or a lifetime ago, may you experience it again in the upcoming season. When are we going to grow up...Hopefully never. See you out there."
