Sage SPL

I had another one of these beautiful ultralight SPL blanks on hand, NOS gems found in a fly shop in Norway. The SPL's won "Best of show" in 1997 and are highly regarded as the best dry fly rods ever made with they silky smooth medium action with strong butt sections and are very sought after.

This second build was appointed similar to the original SP style (1993) with a polished Struble U20 (first SP's had Struble U17's and green wood insert) and a gorgeous greenish vera insert that beautifully complements the turquoise-blue blank. Silver trim wraps on this one are dead gorgeous. Exquisite aluminum custom tube. This might just be the epitome of my custom Sage builds.

Should you need a custom Sage rod made from contemporary blanks, send me an email to talk about it. Thanks for looking!
