New for 2000
Brand new for our 2000 catalog, the SAS 905/5 is destined to become a favorite among backpackers and travelers. This is a terrific all-around trout rod that fits into a 23" case for convenient travel. Our special sleeve ferrule design keeps the SAS 905/5 light and crisp - this rod feels even more powerful and stable than the 2-piece version! The SAS 905/5 is well suited to all trout fishing techniques, including dry fly fishing, nymphing and streamer fishing with both floating and sinking lines.
