Big water. Serious wind. Powerful fish. There is no more challenging environment for a fly rod than saltwater-whether it's stalking skittish bonefish on the flats, throwing lead-eye Clousers at busting albacore, or the back-breaking tug-of-war with a sounding billfish. That's why every rod in our Xi2 series is specifically designed for the task at hand. Sages' exclusive enhanced action taper makes it easy to fire a cast into the teeth of a howling Nor'easter, and slug it out in the trenches with the big boys. At the same time, even the most powerful Xi2 feels light and properly balanced in your hand to reduce fatigue.
Oversized tip-tops and guides handle knots and heavy lines, while Sages' custom fighting butts provide extra comfort and leverage. And because getting there is always an issue, we've designed a series of remarkable four-piece rods that give you the famous Sage action without the typical travel hassles. In short, the Xi2 series rods are the easiest casting, highest performance saltwater fly rods in the world.
