Equipped with a high-performance blank (Graphite IIIe), the Foundation has a fast action providing excellent casting power and effortless control. It's the very foundation of what defines Sage performance - taking your game to another level. Whether you are a guide on the Madison or exploring your backyard waters, the Foundation series delivers the signature Sage feel. For over 35 years they've built performance rods one at a time on Bainbridge Island, WA. The same 27 sets of skilled hands that craft all Sage rods construct the Foundation.
