Today is Day #3 for our special holiday promotion of “12 Gifts for Christmas.” Today’s gift is the Measure Net. This is a net that is used to land fish once they have been caught. We have all sizes available from a small wading net to a large drift boat net. The net features a ruler that allows you to measure the fish without removing the fish from the net, or the water. This is a great conservation feature and greatly improves the odds of a released trout surviving. It also allow you to leave the measuring stick at home. These nets are made of a strong aluminum tubing and have a durable rubber handle that allows the net to float.

We have been starting to receive shipments for the Holiday Season. We have received many new items that will work great for gifts this year. I have been really feeling the Holiday spirit this year so I have decided to feature 12 of our new items as the “12 Gifts for Christmas,” from Jimmy’s All Seasons Angler. I have chosen these 12 items to feature because they are great gifts for any fly fisherman. If you are having a hard time trying to figure out what to get that angler who seems to have everything, or you are that angler who has everything and the loved ones in your life can’t figure out what to get you. Feel free to send them into the shop and we’ll be happy to help them.

Gift #1: Sage has featured a new cigar humidor. The humidor is a cigar sized aluminum rod tube. This unique humidor is the perfect temporary storage device for you precious cigars. It features a humidifier disk, and is lined with cedar. These humidors come in two colors black and sage green. These two colors match the same colors found on Sage’s Premiere Fly Rods. This is a great gift for anyone who enjoys a a great cigar after casting to rising trout.

Today we received the new Flight rods from Sage. The Flight is the redesigned Sage FLi. This rod has been updated from the Generation 4 graphite to the Generation 5 graphite. What this means is the Flight is a lighter, more responsive, and smoother casting rod. We have brought in a good selection of Flights for the Holiday Season.

I got to demo this rod last month. I was extremely impressed with the improvements that have been made. I always thought that the FLi was a “good rod for the money.” Many of you have probably heard me tell you, “can’t go wrong with a Sage, and the FLi is a great rod at a great price.” With all that said the Flight is far beyond what the Fli ever was. This rod is awesome! I really think that this rod is going to become a favorite amoung fly fisherman for a couple reasons. The rod is made of the same graphite that our $700 Sage Z-Axis, and ZXL rods are made from. They are lighter than the old model, they cast great, and they are half the price as our exclusive Sage rods.

If you are in the market for a new fly rod, maybe you have someone speacial you need a great Christmas gift for, or you are like me and can never have too many fly rods. Come down to the shop and cast the Sage Flight. You will be impressed with the upgrades from the FLi. If you love the FLi we still have some for sale at discounted prices.
