Description

The Sage R8 Salt Fly Rod features cutting edge graphite technology, setting this saltwater specific rod above all those that came before. The new Sage R8 graphite adds 25% more strength-per-weight, increasing the fight in the rod even down to the six-weight. Sage increased the pure pulling power without the need to add more material, fillers or reinforcement. The outcome is simple, providing the ability for faster landing times – reducing fish fatigue and catch-and release stress on delicate ecosystems.
