OVERVIEW

The most demanding conditions require a different kind of tool. Strong head wind? Fish at distance? Bulky rigs? Heavy sink-tips? The IGNITER is tuned to handle the most technical of conditions. Not a rod for the everyday angler, the IGNITER is equipped with a high line speed taper to carry large amounts of line at distance with wind cutting performance. Perfect for streamer fishing with heavy sink tips or covering big water when conditions turn south. If you bring the will, the IGNITER will supply the way.

WINDY CONDITIONS

Fast is the name of the game with the IGNITER. Aggressive from the tip to the butt, the IGNITER is designed to punch through even the stiffest cross-winds and deliver your fly in the most technical of conditions.

LONG CASTS & LINE CARRY

Built with maximum stability throughout the blank, the IGNITER allows the angler to go the distance and reach the farthest lying fish, while still maintaining the utmost control and accuracy. A tricky trout that won’t let you get within 50 feet is going to require a fly line with a long head for delicate presentation at distance. The powerful design of the IGNITER allows anglers to effectively carry that length of line to land the smallest of dry flies with delicacy at distance.

MAXIMUM POWER

Truly the Ferrari of fly rods, the IGNITER is built with the most power in our lineup, throughout the blank, and is capable of delivering your fly, big or small, to the intended target no matter the conditions. Whether it’s a log jam across a wide pool or a tricky bank feeder tucked into the grass on the far bank, the IGNITER is designed to make sure your fly hits its mark.

Konnetic HD

KonneticHD Technology is the next era in performance graphite rods. Optimizing our graphite-to-resin ratio, we have created a higher density (HD) fiber composite, resulting in lighter, stronger blanks which deliver unmatched recovery, energy transfer, and line/loop control. Building upon proprietary construction techniques developed for Konnetic Technology, KonneticHD gives us an elevated platform to achieve new levels in rod design.

MADE IN USA

At Sage, craftsmanship is our people. We’re not a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who design and build the world’s best fly rods and reels using our hands and hearts. We do it by sharing ideas and always asking the next question to find what can be done to make this better. Our rods are built one at time right here on Bainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passing through 23 sets of hands. Our reels are also designed right here, and then precision-crafted with exclusive USA carbon to tolerance only Sage can deliver. We’re out there fishing the same places in the same unforgiving conditions that you are. Craftsmanship is applied experience. Lifetimes of it.
