The CFF April auction is for a truly high end item!  A SAGE Igniter 9′ 5wt ultra fast 4 piece graphite fly rod.  This rod retails for $900.  Our thanks to Northwest Flyfishing Outfitters for the donation!

According to the SAGE website: “The most demanding conditions require a different kind of tool. Strong head wind? Fish at distance? Bulky rigs? Heavy sink-tips? The IGNITER is tuned to handle the most technical of conditions. Not a rod for the everyday angler, the IGNITER is equipped with a high line speed taper to carry large amounts of line at distance with wind cutting performance. Perfect for streamer fishing with heavy sink tips or covering big water when conditions turn south. If you bring the will, the IGNITER will supply the way.”
