Jon Hazlett from Anglers Rendezvous visited us at the shop with the new Sage R8 rods. We spent the morning casting them and picking Jon’s brain, learning what makes this rod different from the Sage X and other graphite rods on the market.
SAGE R8 Core Rods range in lengths from 8’6″ through 10’0″ with weights from 3 to 9.
Give us a call at (541) 342-7005 for any questions about the R8.
From Sage
R8 CORE is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we’re seeing
out on the water, where one rod needs to show even greater range. 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.
