Demo rods are available free of charge to account holders. Each comes complete with a reel and matching line, plus labels and instructions for secure return. We ask that the outfit is back with us no later than 28 days after we shipped. Please keep hold of packaging to assist with a safe return.

Only a maximum of two outfits can be loaned at any time. For larger events / other terms or if you don’t see the rod you’d like to try, please get in touch.

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.
