SAGE ROD NOTES: Built with our innovative Generation 5 (G5) Technology, Xi2 rods feel lighter and livelier than other saltwater rods. But that's only the beginning. The truly revolutionary benefits of the Xi2 are revealed when you cast it. The Modulus Positioning System (MPS) we developed for these rods provides a startling level of 'line feel' throughout the casting stroke. This enhanced ability to feel the rod load allows you to apply power more efficiently. Which, in turn, means tighter loops, better wind penetration and more distance. SAGE REEL NOTES: "Anglers who have fished the Sage 3000 Series reels rank them among the finest in the world. Built with the same commitment to craftsmanship, quality materials and innovation you've come to expect from our rods, the 3000 Series is on the cutting edge of modern reel design. Take the buttery-smooth drag system of our 3000D Series, for instance. It features a completely sealed multi-graphite disk drag system, so you never have to worry about water, dirt or sand. The numbered, positive-click drag adjustment knob protects tippets while offering train-stopping power when you need it. SAGE LINE NOTES: "We have taken all the attributes and fishability from our Performance Taper II and added a stiffer core and tougher coating for harsh saltwater environments. The Equator Taper II provides the stiffness and power you will need to penetrate the trade winds - even in the hottest, stickiest tropical conditions.
