To a striped bass angler, there is no prettier sight than a group of
big cows slamming bunker and menhaden in the surf. Unless, of course,
you're tracking them on the flats! Delivering big crease flies and
poppers can be hard work, but when armed with the new Sage Elite Fly
Rod Package Striped Bass, 990-4, you'll be launching these big bugs on
target all day long! The Xi3 is so light in hand, you'll almost forget
it's there, and it has enough raw and reserve power to deliver those
big flies with striking ease. The brand spanking new Sage 6010 Drag Fly
Reel has a modern race car design and a hefty sealed gear reduction
drag system so you can turn the screws on big stripers and even that
rogue bait-busing blue! The outfit is tied together by the impressive
Equator Taper II WF 9F Fly Line so you'll have the power to stay with
the big ones all day long!

Components
Sage 990-4 Xi3 Fly Rod
If you plan on chasing big New England stripers and rogue blues, you
better take this rod with you. Clousers are heavy, not mention that
intermediate sink tip in a 10 knot wind, and you'll need a rod with
enough backbone to deliver these heavy rigs on target, cast after cast.
With a beautiful deep blue finish and high performance G5 Technology
from Sage, this is the rod that delivers it all. Warm up the engine,
we're on our way to Orient Point, Long Island!
Atlantic salmon and big stripers; do these two go together? Well, not
on a date, of course, but after a quick trip to the Miramichi, you
might like to stop by the Cape for some striper fishing. If you're
game, this is the reel to take! Tough drag for the stripers but smooth
start up when the salmon jump! What a combo trip! The rocket-science
(literally) designed Sage 6010 Drag Fly Reel is the perfect answer for
chasing the migration up and down the coast! This elegantly machined
aluminum reel was designed handle the toughest of conditions, stop the
biggest fish, and last a lifetime -- even in harsh saltwater.
Sage Equator Taper II, WF 9F Fly Line
Striper flies are heavy! That's why you need a line specifically
designed for big flies and the powerful rods used to cast them. Sage
has come through again. Now you can have a line designed by the Sage
Rod company for their own rods. With a braided monofilament core, this
line gives anglers the edge, even in the toughest fishing conditions.
Quite simply, this line rocks with the Xi3!
Also included in this outfit
are fly line backing, leader, and functional, protective aluminum rod
tube and neoprene and ballistic cloth reel case so you can travel with
your Sage Elite Striped Bass Outfit anywhere; in the car, on the plane,
or on the boat.
