Sage One build progression...

 The subject of this project: A Sage One 10wt 4pc that is destined to be working the flats of tropical north Queensland, Australia.

Specie such as Golden Trevally are the intended target.



Butt section here has had the gloss lightly sanded from the blank to help glue adhesion

 Our secret special industrial strength epoxy glue floods the cavity - It's made right here in Australia and is the strongest on the planet!











Whilst the reel seat is setting, the tip is section is spined & prepped for gluing too

High tech looking winding check for a high tech flats weapon!











Getting it top dead centre for the guides...

 Tuned and ready to bind...

Alignment dots in place

Ready...

Looks messy....

But the 'One' looks good... Will look even better under epoxy!

 Ready for the trims on the ferrule

Detail of trimming work... Will look great under epoxy!

Nice, level and lustrous epoxy on the butt. Told you those trims would look grouse under the epoxy!

Looking ordinary after two thin coats, the next should see it looking very sexy! A great finish is built up with layers...

 Stripper guide & Alignment dot detail;

 Details...

Ready to fish!

Thanks Bill for giving us the opportunity to build you your new Sage One. It was a tremendous project that we enjoyed immensely! Now all that is left is for you to take her out and put a decent bend in her!

Best Regards,

Tony & Peter.
