Sage SLT 480-4 7-8ft 4 weight Fly Rod

If you're viewing this sale you'll likely already be aware of this rods reputation and following, and it remains one of Sage’s best-regarded light-line designs, although production ended almost 20 years ago. The SLT 480-4 continues to be well sought after for its smooth, progressive medium-fast action, excellent feel, and the ability to deliver accurate, delicate presentations without ever feeling underpowered. It remains a genuinely capable fishing rod that stands up well today, not simply a collectible item from an earlier era.

The 8-foot length and 4-weight line make this a versatile choice for small to medium streams. It loads well at practical fishing distances and is especially enjoyable for dry-fly fishing, where accuracy, line control, and a gentle presentation matter. The responsive Sage Graphite IIIe blank helps protect light tippets while retaining enough reserve for playing trout, grayling and other fresh water species. It also handles small nymphs comfortably.

This rod is in truly excellent condition and presents beautifully. The blanks, guides, cork, and fittings have been very extremely well cared for, a characteristic common to every fly rod that I own or have ever owned. Please see the photos for clear evidence of its condition. Original Sage rod bag and tube are included.
