Trout LL Fly Rod
Designed with the trout angler and dry flies in mind (as its name suggests), the Trout LL Fly Rod from Sage has a delicate touch, medium action, and blank taper optimization to make it perfect for wade fishing, closer casts, small flies, and light tippets. Its smooth casting taper elevates performance in accuracy and loop control through the backbone of the Konnetic HD blank material, while the beautiful wood inserts and premium componentry provide an elegant final touch.

Presentation
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The 486 Trout LL paired with Rio InTouch Technical Trout line, is a hyper accurate combination at distances from 15 feet on. At the 30 foot mark, it provides consistent loops and accuracy with excellent control. You know exactly where you will place the cast each time. While this rod is known for dry fly presentation, it also handles dropper rigs and light nymphing adeptly. This rod is as good a 4-weight as there is for the angled looking for a true all around 4-wt.
