Utilizing Sage's R8 Core Technology, this series of fast-action rods combines a wide range of species versatility with a well-connected feel and a seamless transfer of energy in every cast. Building on decades of premium rod-building craftsmanship, the R8 Core family of rods makes it easy to create those days when everything feels on point and being one with the water happens naturally. Built with a focus on versatility, the R8 Core rods are available in line weights 3 through 9, making them a tool you can turn to whether you're dropping terrestrials under every undercut bank in search of wild brookies or casting foot-long streamers into a school of blitzing crevalle. The all-new axial fiber construction provides instant feedback and a sensitive feel from your hand to the fly—this sensitivity begins at your cast, extends into your presentation, and ends with the fight of the fish. Sage's Silver Pine blank brings a look that puts a smile on your face whether the rod's resting in your hand or sitting on the stream's bank while you break for lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eR8 Core Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e - R8 Core is Sage's newest blank technology, focusing on seamless fishing versatility—whether that be species, habitats, or conditions—and an Amplified Two-Way Feedback Loop that provides sensitivity in every aspect of your cast, presentation, and fight.
