Sage Dart 076-3 - ROD1417

The Sage Dart 076-3 brings unmatched delicacy and surgical accuracy to the quietest corners of the trout world. Built specifically for tight mountain creeks, high-elevation beaver ponds, and crystalline headwater streams, this 0-weight fly rod excels when stalking wild native trout in water barely wider than your boots. Despite its whisper-light profile, the blank features a fast action tuned specifically for close-quarters casting, allowing you to load immediately with minimal fly line outside the rod tip. It drives narrow, wind-cutting loops beneath overhanging willow branches and drops small dry flies onto glassy pocket water without disturbing the surface.

Handcrafted on Bainbridge Island, Washington, the Dart platform harnesses Sage's proprietary KonneticHD technology to redefine what an ultralight graphite rod can accomplish. By optimizing the graphite-to-resin ratio, KonneticHD produces a higher density composite blank that eliminates lateral vibration, giving you crisp tracking and remarkable recovery on every forward stroke. This structural efficiency provides the backbone needed to punch through canyon drafts while maintaining the sensitivity required to protect fragile 7X and 8X tippets during sudden surges. The aesthetic appointments are equally refined, featuring a Sapling Green blank, bronze thread wraps with gold trim, a Fuji ceramic stripper guide, and ultra-light hard-chromed snake guides. A Super Plus snub-nose half-wells cork handle pairs with a Vera wood insert and bronze anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat, seating small click-and-pawl reels securely without adding unnecessary mass.

This Sage Dart 076-3 arrives in Like New condition, showing pristine blank surfaces, clean guide wraps, and untouched cork fresh from the tube.
