Sold – Sage Payload 789-4 - ROD1137

This is the specialist tool for anglers who measure success by the size of the fly and the aggression of the take. The Sage Payload 789-4 is purpose-built to cast heavy lines and wind-resistant flies without fatiguing your arm. At 8'9", its slightly shorter length offers superior leverage for fighting powerful fish from a boat or bank, making it an exceptional choice for tossing big streamers for trout, hunting smallmouth bass, or pursuing light saltwater species.

Built on Sage’s renowned Konnetic Technology, the Payload features a powerful tip section designed to lift heavy sink tips off the water with ease, transitioning into a forgiving butt section that provides the backbone needed to turn big predators. The blank is finished in a rich tannin color with heavy-duty aluminum reel seats and oversized guides that ensure smooth line shooting even in demanding conditions. It delivers a fast, authoritative action that drives bulky flies through the wind with precision.

This specific rod is in Like New condition and has never been fished. It offers a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, high-performance streamer rod without the new-rod price tag.

Upgrade your arsenal with a rod designed to handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on the fight.
