TROUT LL

Overview

With a delicate touch and medium action, the TROUT LL family has been designed with the trout angler and dry flies in mind. Through blank taper optimization and specialized length offerings, the TROUT LL is perfected for wade fishing, closer casts, small flies, and light tippets. A relatively supple tip maximizes light tippet protection and gives way to a smooth easy-loading mid-section that increases feel and feedback throughout the casting stroke. When the hatch is on, the TROUT LL is an angler's best friend. Drawing inspiration from historic Sage rods of the past, the TROUT LL is a nod toward tradition with a classic appearance and a smooth casting taper, yet adds modern performance features in accuracy and loop control through the backbone of Konnetic HD blank material.

DELICATE PRESENTATIONS

Designed with a medium action for delicate touch, the TROUT LL allows for softer presentations to fish that are sensitive to disruptions in their feeding environments. Perfect for casting those light lines, long leaders, light tippet, and small flies in the zone to impossibly picky eaters.
