Sage TROUT LL 4WT 9'

Description

Sage TROUT LL 490

9' 4 weight, four-piece fly rod

The Sage TROUT LL 490 is our go-to dry fly rod for fishing the large and medium-sized water. The soft tip offers tippet protection while fighting larger fish and its length opens up opportunities at distances not attainable with shorter models. Easy casting and smooth loading throughout the casting stroke make this rod magical to fish with when dry flies are the preferred technique.

DRY FLY /  MEDIUM ACTION

• Walk and wade trout fisheries
• Delicate Presentations
• Supple tip for protecting light tippets

With a delicate touch and medium action, the TROUT LL family has been designed with the trout angler and dry flies in mind. Through blank taper optimization and specialized length offerings, the TROUT LL is perfected for wade fishing, closer casts, small flies, and light tippets. A relatively supple tip maximizes light tippet protection and gives way to a smooth easy-loading mid-section that increases feel and feedback throughout the casting stroke. When the hatch is on, the TROUT LL is an angler’s best friend. 

Drawing inspiration from historic Sage rods of the past, the TROUT LL is a nod toward tradition with a classic appearance and a smooth casting taper, yet adds modern performance features in accuracy and loop control through the backbone of Konnetic HD blank material. 

The TROUT LL series is available in a combination of classic dry fly line weights and lengths 7’9” though 9’0” while beautiful wood inserts and premium components add an elegant touch to these high-performance rods.

Technology

KONNETIC HD

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 that 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.
