The Trout Spey G5 is the easiest way into swinging flies for trout — a purpose-built two-hander on Sage's proven G5 blank at the friendliest price Sage puts on a spey rod. Smooth, forgiving action that makes learning Skagit and Scandi casts feel natural instead of frustrating.
We stock all three models. Handcrafted on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

All four-piece. Current pricing is on the selector above.
Picking one
- First trout spey rod: the 3 weight. Light heads, soft hackles, easy learning curve.
- One rod for swinging everything: the 4 weight handles wets through mid-size streamers with light tips.
- Streamer-heavy or doubling for small steelhead: the 5 weight.
G5 or the Trout Spey HD? We stock both. The HD's KonneticHD blank is noticeably lighter and quicker-recovering, and the lineup runs down to a 1 weight — if swinging flies becomes your thing, that is the upgrade path. The G5 is the smart way to find out whether it becomes your thing.
Lines: a Skagit or Scandi head inside the grain window, running line, and light tips. Call us and we will build the complete setup — the line pairing is most of the game in trout spey.
