Even though most of us Spey junkies would like to think it, we know
that not all steelhead rivers are a country mile wide! Some
chrome-chasing situations don't call for two-handers, but regardless
of where you smell steel, you'll always need just a little extra length
for mends and a good measure of reserve power for stopping these great
ocean-going brutes. Sage's sweet-casting 8100 Z-AXIS fly rod and
hard-hitting 6080 Drag Fly Reel provide both. Top off the outfit with a
Performance Taper II WF 8F Fly Line, and there's no argument: Sage puts
the power and performance in big game fly fishing equipment. This fall
and winter, we'll look for you on the legendary swath of steel coast
from Northern California to British Columbia.

Components
Sage 8100-4 Z-Axis Rod
Be afraid, be very afraid you king salmon and fresh steelhead! Two of
the meanest coastal fish have finally met their match, the 8100-4
Z-Axis. It can power line out, spin big mends, and whip some serious
big fish tail. With extra length in the tip, this rod is great as a
single hand spey! Alaska and B.C., here we come.
Sage 6080 Drag Fly Reel
This just in: salmon and steelhead love big waking flies! Well, that's
not actually news, but don't you just love it when they're grabbing
hard up top? You need a fly reel with low start up inertia when Mr. Big
slams you're fly and heads downriver. The rocket-science (literally)
designed Sage 6080 Drag Fly Reel is the perfect answer to big,
hard-running chromers! This elegantly machined aluminum reel was
designed handle the toughest of conditions, stop the biggest fish, and
last a lifetime. Make sure to smile, the next 30-pound steelie photo is
coming and you're up!

Custom-tailored for Sage fly rods by Jerry Siem, this line's got it

durability, this line excels in a wide range of applications. Its
