Sage ONE Rods NEW PRODUCT Sage is bringing new and revolutionary Konnetic technology to fly rods. Konnetic is an advanced carbon fibre technology exclusive to Sage. The new rods are impossibly light and give the ultimate in line control and accuracy due to virtually no lateral or torsional movement in the blank. Now 70% lighter, low profile ferrules help direct energy through the rod without sacrificing strength, critical action or feel. Rods are produced using Sage’s Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS), a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fibre materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength and energy
transmission. Sage’s High Compression Moulding process (HMC) compacts the blank’s carbon fibres to optimum density and allows precise fibre alignment. The new 50% lighter all-carbon fibre inner core is simultaneously bonded to the outer wall during the process.
