Just when you thought that entry level Sage fly rods couldn't be any better, along comes the BEST again. The Sage Vantage has replaced the Launch as the entry level rod of choice and is it good! The graphite technology is getting better & better and the rod action makes it one of the easiest rods to cast I have ever handled. The action is so forgiving that even rank beginners find the timing easy to pick up. If you can cast, then the rod works with you to give easy and smooth presentations with lots of power for minimal effort.

From the Sage Website:-

Our new Vantage Series rods make learning to cast easier. Built with knowledge gained through the development of our G5 Technology, Vantage rods give beginning casters a high level of “line feel,” creating a quicker, more instinctive understanding of when to apply power.

Lighter and slimmer than their predecessors, these rods are made here on Bainbridge Island and feature a smooth new medium-fast action for maximum forgiveness and effortless loading. Add great value pricing and getting started is now easier than ever before.
