Sage Foundation fly rods are without question, the best value in a USA made, high-performance fly rod. You will be amazed at how beautifully smooth these rods cast. If you've been thinking about stepping up to a Sage rod, your decision just became much easier. Sage Foundation will change the way you look at affordability vs. performance. The Foundation 6wt 9'0" is the perfect choice for smallmouth bass and trout fishing medium to larger rivers. It also makes a great streamer rod and can handle average largemouth bass. The Foundation 691-4 features a fighting butt handle for additional leverage.
Sage Foundation is built on a high-performance Graphite IIIe blank, delivering a smooth, crisp medium-fast action that will suit most casting styles. The rod loads deep, providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It is the very foundation of what defines a Sage rod; performance and taking your game to another level. Whether you are a guide on the Madison or exploring your backyard waters, the Foundation rods deliver the signature Sage feel. For over 35 years Sage has built performance rods one at a time on Bainbridge Island, WA. The same 27 sets of skilled hands that craft all Sage rods construct each Foundation fly rod.
This is a great rod. It's not as fancy as some high end rods but it seems the value is in the blank. This gives a great rod at a value price. If you don't need all the flash and just want great performance this is a good choice.

This rod is definitely worth the money for a more advanced setup. I fish in the Puget Sound and in freshwater rivers, and this rod is super smooth when it comes to both saltwater and freshwater. If you’re thinking about it, do it!
