Sage R8 Fly Rod – 490-4 – 4wt 9ft 4 pc

MULTI-APPLICATION / FAST ACTION

For most of us, an idyllic day on the water is not when were thinking more, but when were thinking less. Finding that state of fishing in the moment, where instinct and experience bring us to an almost zen-like awareness of each subtle motion and movementthats what R8 CORE is all about. Its not a race or a competition, but a state we all aim to reach out on the water. With R8 CORE we enhance that two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. This Amplified Two-Way Feedback Loop, due to our new axial fiber formulation, allows you to feel when the power needs to be applied throughout the cast, presentation, and when applying the appropriate pressure to fish – ultimately giving you the angler Complete Control.

R8 CORE is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what were seeing out on the water, where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sages multi-application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around usfrom habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target.
