The do-everything trout stick: Sage Sonic 590-4 drives tight loops from dry flies to light streamers.
The Sage SONIC 590-4 is a fast, crisp 9' 5wt that covers the do-most-things trout job without feeling harsh. It tracks clean, recovers quickly, and stays predictable when you switch from dry flies to nymph rigs or light streamers. If you like a modern 5-weight that rewards good timing, holds tight loops, and still has enough feel to fish close, the 590-4 is a strong fit.
As a 4-piece rod, it travels well and stays protected in the included bag and tube. Closeout availability is limited, so if this is the 5-weight you've been waiting for, it's a good time to grab one while inventory lasts.
- Fast recovery for tight loops and clean presentations
- Versatile 5wt feel: dries, nymph rigs, and light streamers
- Clean tracking and quick recovery for accuracy and line control
- 4-piece travel build, includes rod bag and aluminum tube

Cast With Confidence
The Sage SONIC is a modern fast-action rod built for anglers who want one trout rod that can do a lot without feeling stiff or one-dimensional.

From floating lines to sinking setups, SONIC is designed to stay predictable in hand and consistent through the cast, even when you change tactics during the day.
