 All right, fantastic. Hey, my name is Chris Anderson. I've been with Sage for about close to 13 years now. I run all of our pro sales there Today we're here in Scotland on the lower Pavilion beat on the River Tweed and Beautiful day today, and I'm here to show show off some of our new products and the one I really want to talk about here for a Moment is the new Sage X rod. Sage X is replacing our Venerable sage one rod family that's been around since 2011 Sage X is the next next technology. We have the kinetic technology in the sage one. This is the kinetic HD Which means high density and what that means is we're using a higher density of graphite in our blanks than we've ever used before The new X rods I'll pass this little brush around basically it's a It's a carbon fiber shaft from an X rod of sorts and what we've done Steve has taken and burned the end burned all the resin out of this for me and essentially it's left It's left the just the fibers There are a million fibers in this carbon fiber shaft Million fibers and so you can see we're able to just pack so much more graphite into that rod And so ultimately what you get it's amazing, huh? Pass that around a million fibers in that carbon fiber shaft So we're able to take out more of the additives Leave more of the essence of the rod the carbon fiber as a regular result you get a lighter rod You get a more sensitive rod better performing rod all the way around and if you actually cut one of these shafts in half You'll see it's the shaft diameter Is thinner it's a narrower shaft than we've ever been able to build before But if you cut it in half and look the wall thickness is thicker than anything We've ever been able to build before and so you get a more durable flyer out at the same time And this is a really cool demonstration. I think And it kind of in you can hear it it's always it's these are we call them resonance too So you can you can hear the difference between the different resonance or and how they resonate with This is the old graphite 3e technology of the XP's SLT's, right? And this still had fiberglass in it just had the fiberglass core All right Generation 5 technology of the Z axis remove most of that fiberglass Kinetic technology of the one Started to figure out how to nustle those fibers and get more graphite in there and remove some of the resin Now with the new extra kinetic HD technology high-density high-density of graphite It's a beautiful spruce green shaft color. I've got a 590-4 here. We've got a very wood reel insert Now on the on the real seat we put the rod weight on top of the real seat And so you can see Every single rod if you've got three or four rods in a boat with the reels hanging down You can see what rod weight every single one is without even having to pick them up and look Like our one rod series was the X is going to be a fast-action rod I refer to it as a soulful fast-action rod as with all of our big flagship rod families It tends to be the the action that fits most Anglers and their casting styles as well as most fishing applications out there like the one it wasn't it We call it an all-water rod and so So all the way up to the five weights they get this nice fresh water real seat with the anodized aluminum trout seat and a nice vera wood insert and The six weights come with both this seat or they come in another Configuration with a fully anodized aluminum real seat in a mini fighting butt so it can be used in the salt water Six weights come in both configurations the seven weight all the way up to the ten weight will strictly be a full wells grip and a Salt water real seat with the fighting butt We've also got a full range of double-handers and switch rods as well to cover the hole the whole gamut for whatever anyone might want To buy next to use for their application
