SAGE R8 SALT 9' #9 Fly Rod

The SAGE R8 Salt rod series benefits from Sage's exclusive R8 blank manufacturing technology. This technology provides 25% greater mechanical strength and incredible stability — when casting, the rod tip does not vibrate; it immediately returns to its initial position and remains still. This allows the fly line to stay perfectly straight during casts, no waves form, and the line also maintains its speed without falling back.
The R8 Salt is a precise rod that loads very quickly — there is no need to multiply false casts to place your fly in the right zone. Saltwater fly fishing is all about anticipating the fish's movements. You need to be able to cast quickly to where the fish is or will be. The R8 Salt also features a large power reserve; it is capable of quickly subduing the finest fish. This allows you to withstand runs and shorten the fight to release fish in the best possible condition. This power reserve, combined with the rod's perfect stability, ensures smooth and precise casts, delicate presentations, and allows the use of finer tippets.
