Our loaner gear gets worked really hard, and in particular we’ve always said that “South Andros is where reels go to die”. At Andros South, our old 3000 series reels have held up incredibly well. Through hundreds of angler days, constant exposure to saltwater and salty air, and a maintenance program that could be described as ‘moderate’, we’ve literally never had a problem with our 3000 series reels. That’s saying a lot. Really – reels break here. Last year Sage released their replacement for the 3000 Series – they’re now called the Sage 6000 Series fly reel.

Sage 99 Series Fly Rod

Written by admin on November 28, 2009 – 4:05 pm -

A day of multi-fly rigs, wind-resistant indicators and the requisite high-stick rod position can be enough to make your arm fall off before lunch. But the fact is, there simply isn’t a more reliable, effective technique for finding big fish. Which is why Sage created the 99. Built with the same advanced G5 Technology as the Sage Z-Axis rods, the most obvious nymph-specific feature of the 99 is its namesake 9-foot, 9-inch length, which makes short work of long, drag-free drifts.
