Sage Ups the Ante with the ONE Elite
OutdoorHub 08.08.12
Fly fishing industry leader Sage Manufacturing, introduces its finest fly rod to date, the ONE Elite. Made with the lightest, highest quality materials available, the handcrafted ONE Elite is designed for anglers who demand the best.
The ONE Elite uses the same Konnetic Technology as the award-winning Sage ONE fly rod. The ONE Elite features a titanium reel seat with laser-etched logo end cap, titanium stripper guides with ceramic inserts and a titanium winding check. The hand-made handle is crafted from flor grade cork fashioned into a snub-nose, half-wells grip. Made in only a 9-foot, 5-weight option, the ONE Elite comes with a spare tip.
“Improving a beloved, multiple award-winning product is a tall order, but our design team was up to the challenge,” notes Eric Gewiss, Sage marketing manager. “Sage Chief Rod Designer, Jerry Siem, took an already incredible fly rod, refined the detailing and components and made it exceptional.”
The ONE Elite will debut at IFTD (International Fly Tackle Dealers) this month in Reno and will be available at a limited number of authorized specialty retail stores in September. The ONE Elite will retail for $1295.
