The effort to create the new Sage Z-Axis Series Fly Rods took a lot of research and development. Keep in mind this new series of Sage fly rods was devised to replace the one of the most popular series of fly rods that Sage has ever created the XP series of flyrods. Introducing the incredible new Z-Axis Series fast action rods, now available in a full range of sized from 3 weight through 10 weight with several multi piece travel rods also available.

Creating a Sage fly rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels was quite a feat of technology advancement and isn't a simple buzzword or an easily described new material. In fact, the latest version the Sage Generation 5 (G5) Technology is defined by improvements across the entire fy rod building process. Sage's exclusive analysis software helped to better evaluate the performance requirements of every inch of rod blank, allowing them to eliminate all of the  unnecessary material. At the same time making significant advances in the Aligned Fiber Technology, which, most significantly, replaces traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite.

This, of course, required us to develop new construction techniques to align and compress these rods for maximum strength. To take advantage of these development th Sage Fly Rod Company lead rod designer Jerry Siem went back to the beginning to create improved taper designs for each Z-Axis rod.

The G5 process gave him an opportunity to reach previously unattainable levels of line feel, response and performance. It also allowed him to design rods that better fit the modern casting style, with the tip strength to bail you out on a missed stroke and the power to more easily punch flies into the wind.

The result? An entirely new level of fishability. Visit your nearest fly shop and take the Sage Z-Axis for a test spin. You will find it's the lightest, longest-casting, most accurate fast action fly rod you've ever cast rgardless of you fly fishing skill level. The Sage z-Axis series of rods is the type of fly rod that an any angler would be proud to own and really represents a lifetime of fishing enjoyment.
