Sage MAVERICK 890

9' 8 weight, four-piece fly rod

The MAVERICK 890-4 from Sage is a mid-priced, saltwater-specific fly rod featuring Konnetic Technology for easy casting and intuitive accuracy. Oversized guides clear saltwater lines quicker and help improve efficiency when shooting lines. The 890 model is a terrific all-around Bonefish, Redfish, and even Baby Tarpon fly rod, making it one of the most versatile models in the Maverick family.

Salt Specific / Fast Action

  • Quick-Shot Presentations
  • Increased Pulling And Lifting Power
  • Oversized Guide-Set To Help Reduce Tangles Of Larger Saltwater Knots 

The MAVERICK has been designed to maximize quick-shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities. With a true saltwater-specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.

 Technology

KONNETIC

Improved accuracy is a result of smoother tracking and increased line speed and line control... all features of Sage’s revolutionary Konnetic Technology®. Creating an impossibly light blank with enhanced hand-to-fly sensitivity, Konnetic Technology utilizes advanced modulus positioning that places carbon fibers to exacting tolerances. This creates slimmer blank profiles with unparalleled strength and efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Konnetic Technology’s highly responsive and robust blanks feel connected, offering significantly enhanced torsional stability and minimal vibration for casts that track effortlessly and accurately.

  • ​Unique, proprietary carbon/resin composite developed specifically for Konnetic Technology® rods and found exclusively in Sage rods.
  • Advanced modulus positioning creates slimmer profiles, greater strength, & more efficient energy transfer along the length of the shaft.
  • Optimized hoop-to-axial fiber positioning reduces blank weight and enhances cross-sectional strength and performance.
  • High compression molding for increased fiber density, reducing weight with uncompromised durability.
  • Superior tracking through minimized lateral and torsional movement.
  • Focused energy transfer creates greater connectivity with less effort.

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 Maverick 8 Wt Review

I have been fishing this rod for snook, redfish, and bones for quite a while now. This is a great fly rod for some casters, but not for all. If you have a fairly aggressive casting stroke, then this is a great fly rod for you. It can cast really light flies and heavier, bushy flies well. Where I've really liked this rod is when fighting fish. I've had other 8 weights from various other rod companies in which I felt like they made the fly rod so light that it actually was a problem (too brittle) when trying to pull a snook from structure or a bonefish from coral. I have put some major pressure on the butt section of this fly rod and am totally comfortable doing it. If you're headed on a destination trip somewhere, I'd say this is a phenomenal back up rod in the event something happens to your super high-end set up. The casting is OK, there are other rods that I personally think cast better, but for a mid-range rod from Sage, this is great.
