Sage SONIC 4WT 9'

Description

Sage SONIC 490

9' 4 weight, four piece fly rod

The 490 SONIC is a terrific all-around fly rod for fishing the small streams and mid-sized rivers around Southwest Montana such as the Gallatin and Boulder rivers. Ideally suited as a dry fly rod, it can handle light nymping and really shines with dry/dropper rigs on nice days from the drift boat. The quick-loading feel makes for intuitive casting accuracy in the close to middle ranges commonly found in these types of waters.

Multi-Application / Fast Action

Whether laying down dry flies with finesse or delivering streamers to distant reaches, the SONIC family of rods provides uncompromised versatility, with a balance of power and feel. Delightfully crisp and lightweight, the SONIC has a level of performance that stands out from the crowd with a fast action taper designed to cover a wide range of fishing applications from dry fly, streamers, to nymphing - floating lines to sinking. Built on Konnetic Technology blanks, casts with the SONIC are as intuitive as they are natural - responsive in hand with excellent tracking qualities. Ready for any application the day has in store. Dressed in a Juniper shaft color with Hardwood insert (anodized aluminum matte slate on fighting-butt models), and charcoal thread wraps that blend into the blank accents, the SONIC sports a timeless and elegant look that fits into most any fly fishing environment. Handcrafted in the USA and packaged in a premium rod bag and tube, we’ve pulled out all the stops to create a family of rods ideal for any application - any angler. Cast With Confidence.

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.
