The SAGE Circa 379-4 3 7’9″ 4-Piece Fly Rod is a lightweight, slow-action fly rod designed for delicate presentations and small-stream fishing. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

– Length: 7 feet 9 inches
– Pieces: 4-piece (travel-friendly)
– Action: Full-flex (slow to moderate)

Design & Performance:
– Slow Action: The Circa series is known for its deep flex, making it ideal for short, accurate casts with delicate dry flies and light nymphs.
