Sage TROUT LL 6WT 9'

Description

Sage TROUT LL 690

9' 6 weight, four-piece fly rod

The 690 TROUT LL is an exciting new rod that anglers have been craving for a while now. We like this rod for just about any trout situation but find that it really shines when fishing hoppers and big dries on larger rivers. Surprisingly powerful and innately delicate, this is worth a serious look if fast isn’t always your favorite fly rod action.

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 componentry 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.
