The three years spent developing G5 Technology clearly demonstrated that the key to better casting is the ability to feel the rod load. So when Sage designed the new Launch Series rods, they applied what they learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio.

Loosely translated, that means Launch Series rods provide an exceptional level of line connection or feel, allowing anglers of all abilities to cast better and more easily. And because they're Sage fly rods, every Launch Series rod is hand built on Bainbridge Island with wood reel seat inserts, chrome-plated snake guides and high-grade Portuguese cork grips.

This is a great rod to catch your dream fish!  4 piece rod, idea for travel with a SAGE rod tube.
