tropical tarpon water! This tarpon fly fishing package has enough moxie
to handle anything these huge, acrobatic fish toss your way. So stand

Components
Sage Xi3 1290-4 Fly Rod
Tarpon fishing requires efficient casting at distance, and the last
thing you want on a saltwater flat is to run into a daisy chaining
group of silver kings only to hold an inadequate fly rod in your hand.
With the Sage Xi3, you have a muscle rod that can deliver long,
accurate casts and tight loops to hungry tarpon. Next time you leave
for Mile Zero, don't forget to pack your 1290-4 Xi3!
Sage 6012 Drag Fly Reel
If you're considering that tarpon tournament you've always wanted to
enter, the Sage 6012 is the reel to pack! Tough drag but smooth start
up when those giant silver beasts trash in the air. The rocket-science
(literally) designed Sage 6012 Drag Fly Reel is the perfect answer for
putting the wood to monster tarpon and protecting terminal tackle
throughout the fight. This elegantly machined aluminum reel will handle
the toughest of conditions, stop the biggest fish, and last a lifetime
-- even in harsh saltwater.
Sage Equator Taper II, WF 12F Fly Line
Giant tarpon often must be fished at distance! That's why you need a
line specifically designed for accurate, easy distance casting. 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 hottest 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 Tarpon Outfit anywhere; in the car, on the plane, or on
the boat.
Remember, Leland is a full-service fly shop, so if you'd like, we're
happy to rig this outfit for you to our own very high standards. All
connections between the leader, fly line, fly line backing, and fly reel
will be assembled and tested for the greatest strength and lasting
reliability before it arrives at your door, ready to fish, right out of
the box. Please, in the "comments field" of the online order form,
indicate that you would like this fly rod combo package rigged, and
specify whether you reel with your left, or right hand. This rigging
service, of course, is free to our customers and is one of the many
services that we offer at Leland to go that extra mile, or
kilometer, for you. Have fun fishing!
