Ask Curated a question about this product:

The Sage Payload Fly Rod was designed to throw large, heavier flies. Built with Konnetic technology, the carbon fibers are augmented with resin to produce a stronger, lighter, more sensitive fast-action fly rod. The rod features tangle free Fuji ceramic guides to aid in line management. A heavy duty aluminum reel seat secures the reel to the rod. Fly anglers who throw large heavy flies for large predatory fish would use this.

Key Features

  • Lifetime Warranty – The rod comes with a lifetime warranty against breakage.
  • Protective Rod Tube – This rod comes with a protective rod tube for safe storage when not in use.
  • Fighting Grip – This rod features a super-plus, full-wells cork handle and durable fighting butt to aid in fighting larger fish.

Danny Salinas owns this product
This rod is best for an angler looking for a specific or niche rod. That angler wants a rod that is accurate at various distances and can easily throw bigger streamers, bass poppers, and other large wind-resistant flies to predatory fishing think Bass, Pike, Muskie, and other large freshwater fish. The rod is 8'9" in the 6wt to 9wt sizes,... Read more
Ideal for
  • Fast action rod helps generate line speed to cut through the wind and deliver big flies accurately.
  • This rod is made for throwing big flies at bass, pike, musky and other predatory fish.
  • This rod works well with floating, intermediate, and sink tip line, it picks up line well.
Not ideal for
  • This rod is not made for the beginner angler, the fast action rod takes some good timing.
  • The rod is made for throwing big flies, think larger streamers, big bass poppers; this rod is not a general all around 9ft rod.
  • The rod isn't the lightest rod in the market, it has some heft to it that works well for its intended purpose.

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
