"Orvis Superfine rods are my choice for fishing small flies and protecting fine tippet." , Tim
Orvis Helios Freshwater Rods Orvis set out on an adventure to make the world's lightest fly rod. Along the way, they also made the world's best. The new Helios is so innovative and, frankly, so far ahead of all other fly rods it skips generations in how fly rods should feel, cast, and fish. They are so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that to compare it to other graphite rods is like comparing graphite to bamboo. There is no comparison. The Helios fly fishing rods are that good. And everyone is noticing.

Orvis set out on an adventure to make the world's lightest fly rod. Along the way, they also made the world's best. The new Helios Saltwater rods are so innovative and, frankly, so far ahead of all other fly rods they skip generations in how fly rods should feel, cast, and fish. They are so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that compared to other graphite rods, it is like comparing graphite to bamboo.

These heavy saltwater rods feature an extended grip to help fight fish. They also have a fighting butt that can be changed from a standard butt to an extended butt (shown).
You can switch your casting from single handed to spey style with these versatile rods from Orvis. At 11 feet long, they help reach out for longer casts and make mending your line a dream.
The Sage Flight Series are light, smooth fly rods. Now you will be able to generate high line speed and feel the rod load more precisely for improved power transfer and efficiency. In fishing situations, that means you will instinctively cast better without having to think about it. The Flight is a great mid priced rod and will perform for beginners through andvanced casters. Rods include cordura rod/reel combo tube and the Sage Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.
The ZXL rods are significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a smooth progressive taper. Through the G5 process, Sage was able to remove every gram of unnecessary material from each blank and replace traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite.
o Moderate Action
A day of multi-bug rigs, wind-resistant indicators and the requisite high-stick rod position can be enough to make your arm fall off before lunch. But the fact is, there simply isnt a more reliable, effective technique for finding big fish. Which is why Sage created the 99.
Built with the same advanced G5 Technology as the Z-Axis rods, the most obvious nymph-specific feature of the 99 is its namesake 9-foot, 9-inch length, which makes short work of long, drag-free drifts. But that is just the beginning. The 99's unique taper loads lower on the blank to generate open loops, helping avoid tangles with multiple fly and indicator rigs. At the same time, a stiffer tip section handles heavy payload delivery but retains the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes.
The 99s also feature slightly oversized guides specifically placed to make stack mending, shake-out and line feeding easier. Put it all together and you have a light, perfectly balanced rod that casts like a 9-footer but fishes like a 10. High-Stickers rejoice!

Sage's new Vantage Series rods make learning to cast easier. Built with knowledge gained through the development of 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 in the USA, 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.
Introducing the new Xi3 Series saltwater fly rods. Through Sage's exclusive SaltH2O Technology, Xi3 rods provide a groundbreaking level of torque and torsion resistance for superior tracking and less wasted energy at all distances. SaltH2O's unique layer interface and proprietary resin also combine for maximum strength - even in high heat environments - and significantly less weight.
This increased strength comes in handy when you need to lean on powerful saltwater bruisers. Just as importantly, it gives you the backbone to pick up 60 or 70 feet of line on desperate second (and last) chance casts.
"I fished the 12 and 13 weights in Guatemala for sailfish and have to say - the new Xi3 ROCKS!" Tim
The VXP rods have ultra high line speed and a slender shaft design, reducing the overall weight. Fantastic rods for a fantastic price.
The TXL-F rods are Sage's lightest rods for ultimate sensitivity. Weighing in at less than an ounce and a half in the "000" rod, these are incredibly light.
The ONE rod is Sage's flagship offering that may redefine the "all-around" rod category, where precision casting accuracy is needed over a wide range of conditions. Hand crafted from their Konnetic technology three long years in the making, the ONE rod is a game changer. Your game. Its fast action incorporates a built in sweet spot, making the ONE rod the ideal choice for experienced and aspiring casters.
Features:
The MX stands for maximum. As in maximum power, distance and fish fighting capabilities. The 5 and 6 weight models are slightly stiffer and faster than the Boron IIx; the 7 through 12 weights are powerhouses designed for throwing sink lines, big flies in any wind conditions. While maintaining responsiveness and light weight, all 7 models sport fast actions and can make 100+ foot casts with little effort. These rods come with a cork fighting butt and the new Winston featherlight nickel anodized aluminum double locking reel seet. Choose either a cigar or full wells grip on the 5 and 6 weight models. The larger models come with full wells grips.
New for 2011
Boron is five times as strong and twice as stiff as steel, yet lighter than aluminum; it lets Winston add 25% more strength to graphite while significantly reducing weight. Their Boron IIIx rods take full advantage of this material's amazing properties and have redefined the fast-action category. They are responsive, powerful, highly accurate fly rods with a very wide casting range. Whether it's gentle presentations up close or long casts of 100 feet, a Boron IIIx can do it all. Incredibly light, these rods are a pleasure to cast all day. Includes graphite rod tube, sock, and Winston's Unconditional Warranty.
Innovation meets tradition. Winston's Boron IIt series proved that advanced boron technology could be used to create exceptional medium-action fly rods. With this series, Winston moved the proven, second-generation boron in a whole new direction, with extraordinarily lightweight rods that combine the powerful, highly responsive characteristics of Boron II with the legendary smoothness and delicacy of our more traditional-action rods. Beautifully smooth medium action rods for a traditional feel.
