The Igniter is Sage's pure-speed rod — an ultra-fast KonneticHD blank built for expert casters, heavy wind, long carries, and overlined setups. It rewards a strong double haul like nothing else Sage has made.
Currently sold out. Sage is winding the Igniter down as the R8 generation takes over, so restocks are unlikely. If you want raw speed in a current Sage blank, look at the Sage R8 Core — it delivers most of the Igniter's punch with far more feel close in — or call us and we will hunt down remaining Igniter inventory in your size if any exists.
