Developing G5 Technology clearly demonstrated that the key to better casting is the ability to feel the rod load. With our Launch Series rods, we applied what we've learned to create a smooth, progressive power curve and an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means Launch Series rods provide exceptional Fly Line connection or feel, allowing anglers to cast better and more easily. Launch Series rod and reel combos are available in Fly Line weights 5, 6 and 8 as part of a complete, perfectly balanced outfit, including a Sage 1600 Series reel, RIO floating Fly Line, backing and leader, plus a protective rod/reel case.
