Leland on the Sage Launch 480-2
The Sage Launch 4 Weight 8' Fly Fishing Rod is the perfect size rod for exploring small to medium size streams with small to medium sized trout flies. The 8' length is well suited to casting beneath tree canopies and around structure, so this would be a wonderful Eastern stream rod. Don't let it's low price mislead you; this light 2-piece rod casts and fishes great with a responsive medium fast action. Just what you'd expect from Sage, the world's leading manufacturer of premium fly rods. So, I bet you know a quiet place with some nice, eager brook trout where this rod would be just the ticket.

Leland on the Sage Launch
Once again Sage Fly Rods has set the standard with their Launch introductory fly rods. The Launch Fly Rod is a fine example of what can and should be done for the angler with a tight budget. These fly rods deliver flies with the precision expected from all Sage rods. They were designed using the techniques learned from the development of G-5 technology used in Sage's jewel, the Xi2, and are fishing rods first and casting rods second. They deliver high line speed and fly accuracy while transferring all the fish fighting feel to the angler.
Leland on Sage We at Leland have been selling Sage Fly Rods since our shop first opened its doors in 1985. Without a doubt, if you polled experienced fly anglers across the country, and the world, and asked Who is the premier fly rod manufacture on the planet? , the answer you would receive most often would be Sage. The popularity of Sage Fly Rods is no accident. Fly anglers tend to be picky folks and they usually expect a lot from their equipment. If theyre not satisfied, they have no problem selecting a different piece of gear that will work better for them. Its not the glossy ads or the fancy names, people buy Sage Fly Rods because they PERFORM. Innovation, quality, durability, and great customer service go into every Sage Fly Rod and continue after you purchase one. Regardless of your experience level, your casting style, or your budget, Sage builds a rod that will be your trusted fishing companion for years to come. Sage has ten separate fly rod series, encompassing the spectrum of fishing applications, from small trout streams to blue water big game.
Leland is proud to be the largest volume Sage Fly Rod dealer in the world. And weve achieved that status, like Sage, through hard work and exemplary customer service. We stock and sell every single fly rod model that Sage manufactures. Please call us if you need assistance in selecting the right rod for you.
Sage was founded in 1979 by Don Green, an experienced rod blank builder and one of the architects of the modern fishing rod, as owner of the Grizzly Fiberglass Company, which later partnered with Fenwick. It was originally called Winslow Manufacturing (after the city of Winslow on Bainbridge Island, Washington) but within a year had changed its name to Sage. Emphasizing high quality fly rods sold only through specialty stores, Sage rode the crest of the fly-fishing boom in the post A River Runs Through It years. Today, although there is no industry repository for exact numbers, Sage is probably the worlds largest producer of premium fly rods and employs over 130 workers in their manufacturing facility. The proximity of Bainbridge to the Boeing Aircraft manufacturing plants near Seattle and Toray Composites in Tacoma provides access for Sage to a wealth of knowledge from the aerospace industry, the primary end users of graphite fiber.
From the outset, the company's goal has been to create rods that generate high line speeds. As thousands of Sage owners will attest, the design of their rods enables the fisherman to have extraordinary line control. Casting a Sage fly rod means placing your fly where you want it, not where you hope it goes.
Sage has been as committed to performance and innovation as any fly rod manufacturer in the world. Their dedication to research and development has produced some of the finest fly fishing rods ever conceived. Models like the XP and RPLX helped put Sage in a class reserved for only the best manufacturers.
In 1994 Sage brought in Jerry Siem to take over rod development and design. Siem, a Minnesota native, has been responsible for the development of the SLT and Xi2 Sage rod series. These fly rods quickly found themselves on rivers, streams, and flats all over the world. They are characterized as exceptional casting rods that allow both the novice and the expert to enjoy them tremendously. With the advent of the TCR in 2003, then Xi2 in 2004 and now the Z-Axis in 2007, perhaps the best fly rod series ever built, Jerry and Sage have raised the standard for fly rod performance.
Our customers are the reason we are here. Every Leland employee is an ambassador for the sport of fly fishing and our company. So, if you have a question, concern, or just want to tell us about your most recent angling adventure please get in touch.

Leland has slightly different shipping policies for Fly Fishing Outfitters Retail Sales, on the one hand, and the Upgrade Program Consignment Auctions, on the other. Fly Fishing Outfitters Retail Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters offers a straight-forward shipping policy with no hidden costs. Though we will ship from our San Francisco location using a host of shipping methods, UPS Ground is our standard method, for which we charge a flat rate of five dollars (US$5) for addresses within the Lower Forty-Eight. If, however, time is tight and you need things in a hurry, we will charge you the real-time estimate for shipping that our site generates. No padding, no nothing, we just want to get you your goods in time for that fishing trip. Our site will also generate real time shipping estimates for Hawaii or Alaska, or international destinations, at a variety of rates. International customers, please note: under no circumstances will we declare an item as a "gift" or will we lower the declared value on the customs forms.
Domestic Shipping
We do our absolute best to make sure each item sold ships as soon as the payment clears; however, the majority of our listings end over the weekend, which means they cannot ship until Monday. Please plan your shipping choices accordingly. (i.e., Two-day shipping for an item that ends on a Saturday means it will arrive Wednesday, the second day after Monday.) Anyone can pick up his or her order in the shop. Just let us know before you checkout.
International Shipping
For international buyers, please be mindful of the tube length of the rod on which you are bidding. For example, shipping a two piece rod (56 inch tube length) to Australia is only available through UPS, not US Postal Service. Our shipping rates are priced to account for the item, packing material, the box and a little gift from us.
The buyer is responsible for all duties and customs fees. Under no circumstances will we declare an item as a "gift" or will we lower the declared value on the customs forms.
Payment should be received within 7 days of placing an order. Pay Pal and Credit Card Payment available at checkout.
Fly Fishing Outfitters Retail Sales
On retail sales, Leland offers 365-Day Returns. Up to one calendar year from the date of purchase, if the item is still in its original condition, we will issue a full refund, no questions asked, to your credit card. Or we'll issue a gift certificate, if you'd prefer that.
Though we carry the top brands in fly fishing, brands we've found to provide the most consistently performing equipment in the industry, from time to time an item will not live up to expectations. For this reason, above and beyond the warranties of our manufacturers, Leland stands fully behind everything we sell. If any product you purchase from us proves faulty, let us know as soon as possible.
