This particular series of rods has been very popular here at our shop. They are great fly rods that are easy to use while still delivering many of the performance features that Sage is known for. They are very forgiving with "user error" (less than perfect timing doesn't translate into a blown casting opportunity) while in skilled hands they develop great line speed, track well and most importantly "feel great" while casting and fighting fish. We would also like to point out that they are a beautiful, rich, blue color that makes them stand apart.
The 379-4 through 690-4 are built with a reverse half wells grip
The 691-4 through 1090-4 are built with a full wells grip and titanium anodized aluminum reel seat hardware and fighting butt.

Our VT2 Series rods are designed for maximum versatility, smooth performance and great value. Throughout the entire line, we've created a taper and action that best fits each specific line weight. VT2 Series rods provide a light, sensitive feel and an incredibly smooth power curve for faster line speed and easier casting. They also feature a gorgeous "blue ribbon" blue finish, titanium anodized aluminum reel seat hardware hard chrome-plated guides.
