Sold – Sage Salt xi3 990-4 - ROD1176

The Sage Xi3 990-4 is a dedicated saltwater tool built to handle the demanding conditions of flats and offshore fishing. Designed as the ultimate 9-weight workhorse, this rod excels when targeting permit, bull redfish, striped bass, and large bonefish. Its fast action profile is specifically engineered to punch heavy flies through stiff coastal winds while retaining enough tip sensitivity for accurate, quick-fire shots at cruising fish. Whether you are dredging heavy sinking lines or delivering a crab pattern to a tailing permit, the Xi3 offers the lifting power and tracking necessary for success.

Sage built this series using their proprietary SaltH2O Technology, a construction method that aligns graphite fibers for maximum strength and torsional stability without adding unnecessary weight. The result is a rod that resists twisting during the cast, ensuring better energy transfer and straighter loops. The blank is finished in a distinct Pacific Blue and outfitted with oversized Fuji hard chrome stripping guides with Alconite ceramic inserts, designed to minimize friction and withstand the corrosive saltwater environment. The black anodized aluminum reel seat features heavy-duty knurled locking rings to keep your reel secure during prolonged battles.

This specific rod is in Like New condition, showing no visible signs of use or wear. It presents a rare opportunity to own a legendary high-performance saltwater rod that looks and performs as if it just left the factory. By choosing this pre-owned model from Recast Fly Fishing, you are acquiring a premium rod at a significant value compared to current retail prices, while supporting a more sustainable cycle of gear ownership.
