Description

Sage IGNITER 790

9' 7 weight, four-piece fly rod

Streamer fishing out west calls for fly rods that can deliver power to turn over heavy flies and lines in the wind at variable distances. The IGNITER 790-4 by Sage makes quick work of the most challenging conditions we deal with when looking for big trout that are willing to eat big flies.

 TECHNICAL CONDITIONS / ULTRA-FAST ACTION 

  • Windy conditions 
  • Long casts & line carry 
  • Accuracy & loop control 

The most demanding conditions require a different kind of tool. Strong headwind? Fish at distance? Bulky rigs? Heavy sink-tips? The IGNITER is tuned to handle the most technical of conditions. 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

  • KonneticHD Technology 
  • Chipotle blank color 
  • Cayenne thread wraps with Gunmetal trim wraps 
  • Fuji ceramic stripper guides 
  • Hard chromed snake guides and tip-top 
  • Laser etched line weight on slide band

  • Black powder coated aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion 

Freshwater 4-6 weights:

  • Flor grade full-wells cork handle with EVA fighting butt 

 Technology

KonneticHD Technology is the next era in performance graphite rods. Optimizing our graphite-to-resin ratio, we have created a higher density (HD) fiber composite, resulting in lighter, stronger blanks which deliver unmatched recovery, energy transfer, and line/loop control. Building upon proprietary construction techniques developed for Konnetic Technology, KonneticHD gives us an elevated platform to achieve new levels in rod design.

  • New proprietary graphite/resin composite developed through exclusive partnerships.
  • Advanced high density (HD) fiber positioning, enhanced laminate characteristics, and optimized manufacturing techniques increase composite modulus while maintaining durability.
  • KonneticHD creates amplified strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios as needed within the rod blank.
  • Optimized fiber-to-fiber energy transfer along the length of the blank minimizes both lateral and medial vibrations, delivering accuracy in an easy loading blank with quick recovery, a crisp tip stop, and enhanced line feel for complete loop control.
  • The highest energy transferring material we have ever created, opening new doors for our R&D Team to experiment with construction techniques, taper designs, and action profiles. 

Warranty

Every new Sage rod, blank and Sage series reel is covered by our lifetime, original owner warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.

This warranty is limited to repair and replacement of the rod, blank or reel and does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or any other type of damage resulting from the use of the product. This warranty does not cover fire, theft, missing rod sections, intentional breakage, modification or customization of the finished rod, or damage during the assembly of a blank into a finished rod. Warranty coverage on Sage blanks does not extend to any custom work or components added to the blanks. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

Sage reserves the right to determine whether to repair or replace any Sage Product covered by this warranty and the right to replace any discontinued models with comparable models when necessary.

Colors and components may vary between original and replacement parts.


The lifetime, original owner warranty against defects in materials and workmanship applies to rods with a serial # beginning with the letter "A" and higher, including all double letters (i.e. AA, AB, and AC). Should a breakage occur outside of warranty coverage (when it’s not the result of defects in materials or workmanship) a repair can usually be made for a fee.

One exception to this is the rods manufactured with a serial number Q, R, S or T. These rods carry an unconditional, original owner lifetime warranty.

PLEASE NOTE: Sage blanks are not serialized. Warranty coverage on rods built from Sage blanks is limited to the blank only.

Sage Igniter 9' 7WT

The 9' 7WT Sage Igniter is one of those rods that you just have to cast to understand it. The line speed that this rod produces is unparalleled. One thing I will add is that your line choice with this rod is extremely important. Some people who don't like the igniter will say it feels like casting a "broomstick", but I can attribute this to using too light of a fly line. The igniter really shines with heavy sink tips and more aggressive floating lines. When fishing with these heavy sinking lines, one issue can be picking up line that is deep in the water column, if you mess this part up and try to pick up line that is too deep, you may leave the river that day with an unwanted piercing. The igniter can pick up heavy lines from deep with ease. After fishing this rod for a day, I went back to my standard streamer rod and almost took a large streamer to the face after getting used to the igniter. So once you use this rod, you may be a bit spoiled!
