The all-new Sage Maverick fits into a moderate price-point with other fly rods like the T&T Zone and the Orvis Recon 2. We've cast almost every mid-priced saltwater fly rod on the market including the new Recon 2 Rods and many others. The Maverick features a design and taper that's unique in that arena and we think it's a versatile rod for intermediate and expert saltwater anglers alike. We've put together a review with all the measurables and comparisons between other mid-priced saltwater fly rods to help you choose the rod that's best for you. Spoiler Alert: We think the Maverick may be the best on the market. Watch our Review to find out why.

This rod went from $550. To $675.00. Talk about inflation. Wow. $125.00 jump. Like seriously.
It’s insane!! Foundation from $325 to 500!!
Hi Ben, I was anxious for your review regarding Sage Maverick! Finally!
Great review! I definitely agree with your opinions of the rod, do you think you could do the echo epr and sage pulse?
Always enjoy Ben's reviews. I picked up a 7wt Maverick yesterday for light salt and streamer work. Very simple, yet beautiful rod - Actually almost identical in appearance to the old Sage Salt. Looks to be about the same weight as well. Would make for an interesting side-by-side comparison.
Thanks Christo! We'll add it to our list!
What’s the best sage bonefish rod?
likin the Top Gun reference! great review.
Hi Ben. Do you think the Maverick 7wt would make a good freshwater streamer rod? If so, which floating- and sink tip lines would you recommend? For the sink tip, I am specifically interested in your thoughts on how it would handle a 200gr or 250gr head.
Way too much rod for freshwater imho
Excellent review! Can the maverick handle lines like intouch striper or sa titan for distance casting the surf?
χαρης μουστακας yes. My friend has it with the intermediate rio Intouch striper line. Casts great!
@@jonathanhof3834 Thanks! It has the 8 or 9 wt?
Compared to the payload, which one is better for big flies? Lookig for a new rod for golden dorado here in argentina! Great review as usual btw
The Payload is specifically designed for large flies and sinking lines... it's a rod that's beefier and faster with a stronger butt section for lifting heavy fish. The Maverick is a little more refined.
@@Tridentflyfishing i will go with the payload then! Thanks for the response!
Hey! For BC salmon and steelhead, in the 8wt models, which would you recommend?
@ trident Fly fishing, How well does this rod match up with a Sage Spectrum Max 9/10 Reel? Looking for a solid setup for salt water. Thanks
It should be a perfect setup!
Gonna make a suggestion - its probably not the BEST idea to test an 8WT Saltwater rod with a Lamson Liquid. I've noticed this in several reviews. Most saltwater-centric guys will tell you a light reel will work against you even when casting light rods, you want an anchor at the bottom of the rod to liven up the tip action and not wear your wrist out. I'd suggest since you guys are dealers to just use A Galvan Torque T-8 as the test reel for your 8's, it's kindve in the sweet spot of not being too heavy for light rods and not being to light for heavy rods at about 7.6oz. just my 2C.
with this rod at around 675 now, do you think it's still a good value with other offerings?
Yes. Especially when most other mid-price rods have jumped up in price. However, if you're after an 8wt, nothing competes with the Atlas regarding value and performance.
anyone know if this rod in a 10wt would work for musky?
yes. It would be a solid choice.
ok mixed opinions about their saltwater rods...so here is my opinion..after fishing 33 countries 9 islands in the bahamas and 100-200 days a year on the water for 35 years..there is still no other company id rather use..This is without a doubt theeeee best mid priced rod there is...all depends on who talk to about opinions..id only ask an FFI.. CCI their opinion..all others barely know what the difference is..ive worked in the industry for almost 40 years and have only had 4 clients that could tell me the difference..Ive entrusted their good products above the Arctic Circle and as far South as Ushaiia TDF patagonia for weeks at a time..to 100 degree humid jungles..all have performed without flaw...too many experts without experience to know the difference
It's a fantastic rod, regardless of price!
Sage is like the Apple computer of fly rods. Sure It's good quality, but there are better rods out there for less.
I would say orvis is more like apple.
T&T or Winston are the Samsungs of the rod world!
Much different than Apple.
