When winter rolls around and the steelhead are running, this is the rod you'll reach for. The Sage Method 8119-4 is the ne plus ultra Skagit-style rod, tossing big, weighted flies and heavy tips with ease. It's even beefy enough to put pressure on big, wild winter steelhead, land them quickly, and send them on their way. When fishing a T-tip, we like it with a 550 grain Skagit head. But with the lovely action and wide grain window, there's no reason not to let fly with something lighter come summer!
This particular rod was purchased as a blank from Sage, and finished by the incomparable Anderson Custom Rods in 2013. Make no mistake, this Method is no hobby build. ACR turns out some of the most beautifully appointed double handers on the market, and this 8119-4 is no exception. See for yourself!
