the original guy (Brian) that designed these rods has cooked up a deal to use the Sage Gear name from Sage and is going to produce them himself. Sage is doing a special run of blanks for him in the models that sold best in Canada and he is building these up to the original spec's to sell to 10 or dealers in Canada and so far there will be no product available in the U.S. At present pace stock will not hit dealer shelves until early summer.
