Sage VT2 Rod – designed for maximum versatility, smooth performance and great value
Designed with a taper that fits between our fast action Z-Axis rods and the progressive Traditional Style rods, the Sage VT2 Rod is the ultimate in versatility. A great value for the beginner while offering plenty of performance for the seasonal angler as well. An improvement to any anglers kit.
The VT2 range includes rods from a 7′ 9″ to a double-handed 14′ 4″ salmon. All models are four-piece blank construction making them good for travel in the smaller sizes. Finished in blue, the rods are trimmed with black & silver whippings with a handle fashioned from Grade 1 cork. The guides are English, consisting on the ’590,’ of a single stripping ring, nine snake rings, one hayfork tip ring and one keeper ring. The reel seat is titanium anodized aluminum with ebony insert on this model and the same on models for smaller line weights. On six weights and heavier there’s a saltwater option having all metal reel seats.In use the Sage VT2 fly rod is excellent for river fishing. With short crisp strokes it delivers great accuracy. It’s a dream to roll cast, delivering twenty yards plus with ease. In able hands the rods power and backbone make light work of dispensing the full line, while short line work is very crisp and definite. Compared to the usual Sage prices this comes as a significant, refreshing change.
