New! Sage Salt R8 Fly Rod

Strength, durability, and feel. The Sage Salt R8 Fly Rod specializes in all 3 like no saltwater model has before. No more need for you to sacrifice quick-loading, precision feel in the pursuit of a little more power. Sage rod designers, in collaboration with experienced guides, spent years perfecting the taper on the R8 for just the right profile and fiber alignment to achieve fine-touch tool with an intuitive sweet spot. You'll find on-demand casting and short shots decidedly easier with this Sage fly rod in hand. R8 graphite adds 25% more strength-per-weight without adding more material, fillers, or reinforcement. Pure pulling power like this equates to faster landing times and reduced stress on fish from catch through release. Enhanced durability withstands the unique demands of saltwater fishing and travel to remote destinations. Saltwater-specific guide set includes corrosion-resistant titanium Fuji™ K-guides with an angled shape to prevent snags and tangling during a fight. Oversized chrome snake guides and tip-top allow large saltwater knots to pass through cleanly. The heavy-duty reel seat and oversized locking rings keep your choice of fly reels tight to the rod for enhanced contact and a confident connection. Includes aluminum rod tube and rod sock.
