Equipped with a high-performance Graphite IIIe blank, the FOUNDATION has a fast action providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It’s the very foundation of what defines a Sage rod – Performance - taking your game to another level. Whether you are a guide on the Madison or exploring your backyard waters, the FOUNDATION series delivers the signature Sage feel. For over 35 years we’ve built performance rods one at a time on Bainbridge Island, WA. The same 27 sets of skilled hands that craft all Sage rods construct the FOUNDATION.

  • Ceramic stripper guides
  • Hard chrome snake guides and tip-top

Excellent service from Gamefish. Rod looks and feels as you would expect from any Sage rod. Test casting in the garden feels superb, yet to try it on the water.
