When it comes to fly fishing, many anglers have several rods for different purposes. Sage has changed up the game by creating a rod that can cover all of the bases.
“Finally, we have a rod that is the jack of all trades.”-Wes Lawson
Meet the R8 Core Rod
The technology of this rod allows you to execute each subtle motion without losing any of the power. Precision with complete control.
“At its Core, R8 Core traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target.”
The Technology Created by Sage
Pure Graphite
“The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, a proprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables us to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us to pack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control.”
Effortless Energy Transfer
New Axial Fiber Formulation
“Advanced nano-sintered resin application and a more resilient axial fiber allow us to re-profile the dimensional taper to get thicker quicker from tip to butt – resulting in better energy transfer and greater feel. Simply put – a better and more efficient “wiring” of energy.”
New Circumferential Hoop Fiber
“Advanced hoop fibers hold blank in optimal cylindrical shape creating greater circumferential strength – continuously maintaining the inherent blank strength while actively engaged or under tension.”
Mending
“With feel that extends to the smallest dry flies, R8 provides the touch to deliver efficient mends with intention and precision.”
Setting
“From subtle sips to streamer strikes, the amplified sensitvity of R8 enables fine nibble feel that triggers instant, instinctual reaction for trout sets or strip sets.”
Fish Fighting
“With a fish on, R8’s fusion of stronger backbone yet greater feel enables you to control your fish, even from tough structure, with touch and care.”
