Sage Maverick Saltwater Fly Rod

The Sage MAVERICK Fly Rod is a purpose-built weapon for the modern saltwater angler. In a game where success often hinges on quick, accurate shots, the MAVERICK is engineered to maximise your finite opportunities. This rod is designed to quickly load and deliver the fly to where it needs to be, making it the definitive choice for saltwater fly fishing, whether you're chasing bonefish on the flats, targeting tarpon, or battling redfish in the marshes.

Quick-Shot Design: The MAVERICK features a powerful tip section that drives the casting load to more robust lower sections. This design makes it easier to fire fast, efficient casts, which is critical for getting the fly in "the zone" before a cruising fish disappears. It also offers the ability to quickly pick-up and re-cast, changing direction as the fish moves.

Konnetic Technology: Built on Sage's revolutionary Konnetic Technology platform, the MAVERICK utilises advanced modulus positioning to create an impossibly light blank with enhanced hand-to-fly sensitivity. This technology delivers superior torsional stability and minimal vibration, resulting in casts that track effortlessly and accurately. The slimmer blank profiles provide incredible strength and efficient energy transfer.

Saltwater-Specific Backbone: The MAVERICK is built with a truly stout and responsive blank designed to fight back against the hardest-fighting saltwater gamefish. It provides the backbone needed to put the stop on a blistering bonefish run or effectively lift a heavy tarpon from the deep, giving you the power to land fish more efficiently.

Corrosion-Resistant Components: Every component on the MAVERICK is built to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. The rod features an oversized guide-set, including oversized Fuji ceramic stripper guides and hard chromed snake guides, which prevent line tangles and allow large saltwater knots to slide through without a hitch. The Matte Slate anodised aluminium reel seat is corrosion-resistant for long-term durability.

Ergonomic Handle: The rod comes with a Super grade full-wells cork handle with a cork/EVA fighting butt, providing a comfortable and firm grip.

Integrated Hook Keeper: An integrated hidden hook keeper in the reel seat keeps your flies securely stored and close at hand for faster reaction capabilities.

Handcrafted Quality: The MAVERICK is a product of world-class craftsmanship. Like all Sage rods, it's handcrafted by skilled artisans on Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA, ensuring a level of quality and attention to detail that is second to none.

With its sleek Pacific Blue blank colour and durable components, the Sage MAVERICK Saltwater Fly Rod is the perfect tool for saltwater sight fishing. It’s a rod that is both powerful and responsive, providing the quick-shot accuracy and fighting power you need to make every saltwater opportunity count.
