Sage Igniter Fly Fishing RodTECHNICAL CONDITIONS / ULTRA-FAST ACTIONWhen the wind picks up and casting situations get technical, the IGNITER is the rod to reach for.

Not a rod for the everyday angler, the IGNITER is equipped with a high line speed taper to carry large amounts of line at distance with wind cutting performance. Perfect for streamer fishing with heavy sink tips or covering big water when conditions turn south. If you bring the will, the IGNITER will supply the way.Features Include:KonneticHD TechnologyCayenne primary thread wraps with Gunmetal trim wrapsFuji ceramic stripper guides; Hard chromed snake guides and tip-topLaser etched line weight on slide bandBlack rod bag with Titanium logo and Chipotle model tagBlack powder coated aluminum rod tube with Sage Medallion4WT – 6WT:Flor grade snub-nose, half-wells cork handleCocobolo wood insert with Gunmetal anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat6WT – 10WT:Flor grade full-wells cork handle with EVA fighting buttGunmetal anodized aluminum up-locking reel seatIntegrated hidden hook keeper in reel seatCAYENNE THREAD WRAPS WITH GUNMETAL TRIM WRAPSCOCOBOLO WOOD INSERT WITH GUNMETAL ANODIZED ALUMINUM UP-LOCKING REEL SEATBLACK POWDER COATED ALUMINUM ROD TUBE WITH SAGE MEDALLIONFUJI CERAMIC STRIPPER GUIDES; HARD CHROMED SNAKE GUIDES AND TIP-TOPWINDY CONDITIONSFast is the name of the game with the IGNITER. Aggressive from the tip to the butt, the IGNITER is designed to punch through even the stiffest cross-winds and deliver your fly in the most technical of conditions.LONG CASTS & LINE CARRYBuilt with maximum stability throughout the blank, the IGNITER allows the angler to go the distance and reach the farthest lying fish, while still maintaining the utmost control and accuracy. A tricky trout that won’t let you get within 50 feet is going to require a fly line with a long head for delicate presentation at distance. The powerful design of the IGNITER allows anglers to effectively carry that length of line to land the smallest of dry flies with delicacy at distance.MAXIMUM POWERTruly the Ferrari of fly rods, the IGNITER is built with the most power in our lineup, throughout the blank, and is capable of delivering your fly, big or small, to the intended target no matter the conditions. Whether it’s a log jam across a wide pool or a tricky bank feeder tucked into the grass on the far bank, the IGNITER is designed to make sure your fly hits its mark.KONNETIC HDKonneticHD Technology is the next era in performance graphite rods.
