Technology

KONNETIC

Improved accuracy is a result of smoother tracking and increased line speed and line control… all features of Sage’s revolutionary Konnetic Technology®. Creating an impossibly light blank with enhanced hand-to-fly sensitivity, Konnetic Technology utilizes advanced modulus positioning that places carbon fibers to exacting tolerances. This creates slimmer blank profiles with unparalleled strength and efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Konnetic Technology’s highly responsive and robust blanks feel connected, offering significantly enhanced torsional stability and minimal vibration for casts that track effortlessly and accurately.

• ​Unique, proprietary carbon/resin composite developed specifically for Konnetic Technology® rods and found exclusively in Sage rods.
• Advanced modulus positioning creates slimmer profiles, greater strength, & more efficient energy transfer along the length of the shaft.
• Optimized hoop to axial fiber positioning reduces blank weight and enhances cross-sectional strength and performance.
• High compression molding for increased fiber density, reducing weight with uncompromised durability.
• Superior tracking through minimized lateral and torsional movement.
• Focused energy transfer creates greater connectivity with less effort.
