SONIC

Overview

The SONIC two-handed collection of rods place all the remarkable benefits of Konnetic Technology in both of your hands. Its lighter weight and decidedly thinner profile are welcome assets over a long day of fishing, reducing casting fatigue and minimizing wind resistance for tireless casts. Thanks to the shaft's significantly enhanced torsional stability, the rod recovers quickly as it moves through the cast, optimizing load carry and line speed for long, smooth, flawless casts every time. With power to lift heavy tips out of the water and the precision to place the perfect touch-and-go anchor, the SONIC Switch rods are a great multi-discipline tool that covers most any swinging scenario.

Reviews

Great all-around switch

"This is a great rod with enough finesse for big roll and snake casts while also having backbone for steelhead and big trout. I’d purchase again."

— Russ M. (5/5)

Great rod, yet again!

"Great rod, yet again!"

— Mia Y. (5/5)

Sonic Switch 7116-4

"This is a great rod for midwest steelheading and swinging for smallmouth on our larger rivers. It’s got lots of reserve power yet feels light in the hand. I coupled this with a Sage spey reel and the combo feels like pure quality. Both are top notch products that will hopefully provide many fun years of fishing."

— Tom S. (5/5)

The Sage Sonic is always

"The Sage Sonic is always a reliable blank."

— Jed R. (5/5)

Perfect for Great Lakes Steelhead

"I bought this rod for Great Lakes steelhead. The Rio Elite Skagit Max (475gr.) and Switch Chucker line (8wt) pair perfectly with this rod. The rod is light and very sensitive. Will be adding more to the arsenal for clients."

— Hunter H. (5/5)

Party rod

"Fast fun and the right length for small west coast rivers and beach salmon."

— Andy L. (5/5)
