The LIFT is built on the shoulders of our extremely popular ECHO Base series with updated actions to suit a wider range of casting styles.
Versatile Action and durable construction
The all-rounder for everything from big streamers on the lakes and rivers to inshore saltwater and light work on the flats. A rod for big flies, big fish and big winds - Echo's fastest, most powerful rod we have ever produced
Big game fisheries require a rod that can handle the big stuff. Whether it’s casting chicken-sized muskie flies, fighting heavy winds, or dealing with the fury of a GT, the EPR has delivered.
Extra-fast action and massive power
With its super-fast tip, it will load for short distance shots. When it’s distance or heavy lifting you need to do, its powerful bottom section will more than deliver the goods.
Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts.
Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into “the zone” for high odds at a hookup.
The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage’s new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick-shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities.
With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.

Featuring a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the Ion XL is equally at home stripping flesh flies as it is dropping a merkin to a tailing permit.

A Rod for stillwater anglers
Conventional fly rods are a poor substitute for a precisely developed lake rod. These new rods were designed to get anglers fishing more effectively and efficiently in lakes of all sizes.
Optimized for Casting While Sitting
Lake and stillwater fishermen are typically fishing from float tubes, small pontoons, or boats. This creates challenges when making long casts. The unique action and power blend matched to the 10′ length helps avoid hitting the water behind you on the back cast and the dreaded tailing loop.
The Lago series rods also live a double life as excellent summer steelhead or large trout nymphing rods.
Essential Sizes and Lengths
There are three sizes including a 10ft 5wt, 10ft 6wt, and 10ft 7wt. The 10 footers cover the gamut of fish sizes while also masterfully handling any stillwater line on the market. The rods feature semi gloss cobalt blue finish.
Every rod is 4 piece and comes with a hard cast and rod sock.
