Sage Mod

Finished another Mod three ninety. This was a popular model from Sage over the years ever since it came out and one of their best and distinctive nine foot three weights. 

With deeper loading and snappy tip action it gives powerful yet smooth deliveries with a long leader and has the ability to load for close in shots. This slim, lime green beauty is addictive.

Appointed in my classic, minimalist clean style with Sage black signature wraps and clear main silk wraps. A gorgeous Struble zebra wood insert with Lemke black anodized hardware are a perfect match.

The swoop style, black anodized winding check is a nice touch as well for a smooth transition from cork to blank. The classic "Winston style" hook keeper is made by hand.

Flor grade, natural "spotted" snub-nose cork handle.

This was a commisioned build and possibly one of the last blanks remaining.
