Sage R8 Core Fly Fishing Rod

R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology through Sage's® forward-thinking lens of what they're seeing out on the water - where one rod needs to show even greater range.

The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables the folks at Sage 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 them 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.

The 590-4 handles trout flies of nearly any size, lines of varying densities and does so with superb feel, accuracy, and line control.
