The Sage Foundation is an affordable way to own an American-made, smooth casting and powerful rod. Although Sage describes the rod action as fast, we find that the Foundation is smooth and easy to load. You can really feel the line load the rod and fine tuning the timing of your casting stroke is easy. The Foundation is an excellent value that will provide years of dependable service.
