"Sage foundation 5wt fly rod"
Greg Sessler on 8/14/2023 8:27:19 AM
Review: I recently purchased a sage 5wt fly rod from Gorge fly shop. I paired it with the free rio gold fly line and a sage spectrum reel. The outfit balanced very well and was used extensively during a trip to Wyomings Salt River. The combo performed flawlessly with heavy nymphs,dry dropper, double dry rigs. Great rod and great service from Gorge fly shop.
"Sweet feel."

"Rod replacement!"

Review: The Sage Foundation 9ft. 5wt. was a replacement for a St. Croix 5wt. that I lost. I have used it twice now at it fits the bill for me and is a geat replacement for the St. Croix. I called them about another rod that they carried and they sold me on the Sage. I had looked at it before but ruled it out. The guys at the Gorge Fly Shop know their stuff. Their thoughts, knowledge and great service were greatly appreciated.
"Rod & line"

Review: Love ordering my new rod and getting the free line. The staff was incredible, Lindsay called me to make sure I got what I needed. No one does that. And the free line made the value of the purchase really great for me. Honestly, I’ll look up gorge fly shop again.
"Great rod"

Review: I luv this Sage rod. It's built basic but solid. nothing fancy but it just works. Cast great like a fly rod should. This is a solid answer to the over inflation problem of USA made fly rods. Reminds me of an old RPL but much lighter
