On the flats, blue water or anywhere in between, your first shot is always the best shot. But, as experienced saltwater anglers know, sometimes that first shot means the bonefish you didn’t see until it was right here, & other times it’s an upwind bait ball way out there. Introducing the new Xi 3 Series saltwater fly rods. Through Sage's exclusive Salt H2O Technology, Xi 3 rods provide a groundbreaking level of torque & torsion resistance for superior tracking & less wasted energy at all distances. Salt H20’s unique layer interface & proprietary resin also combine for maximum strength
- even in high heat environments
- & significantly less weight. This increased strength comes in handy when you need to lean on powerful saltwater bruisers. Just as importantly, it gives you the backbone to pick up 60 or 70 feet of line on desperate second (and last) chance casts. Sage's latest version of G5 construction adds enhanced line feel for easier, more intuitive casting, & specialized saltwater-specific components complete the package. In other words, the new Xi 3 is everything you need to make that first shot count. Length AFTM Handle F.
