From fly-rod-review.com:

"SLT has earned generous praise from both new buyers and dyed-in-the-wool fans of its predecessor, the famed SP. Unbelievably light, the classic, medium-fast taper and silky-smooth action will delight anglers who prefer a longer, more relaxed casting rhythm, yet demand the highest level of performance. SLT rods feature the latest slim-line ferrule technology, allowing Sage to build a series of 2-piece, 3-piece, 4-piece and 5-piece rods that flex so smoothly, you may forget there are any ferrules at all. At the same time, every SLT rod is made with Graphite IIIe, for the high line speed and power you need to feel comfortable in any fishing situation. If you're looking for the ultimate blend of elegance, finesse and performance, this series of Sage fly rods is without peer."
