SAGE ONE 5wt 9’ foot Fly Rod!! The tube does have some scratches and the Rod shows some small signs of use but in EXCELLENT condition!! The pictures are made to show the Rod’s condition, not to hide anything! With that said, please don’t mistake the glare of light on the blank for scratches, they are not scratch. These rods are one of sages most popular sought after fast action rods!! These are highly sought after Rod’s for good reason! This is one of the best all around Rod’s out there! Thus the name “ONE”, which stands for one rod for every scenario! These “Ones” do not stick around long, so don’t get caught napping on this one! Feel confident in buying! I ship fast, which usually takes 3 to 5 business days for delivery! THANKS 🙏 JASON
