SAGE R8 SPEY SWITCH 11'6 Line 7 Fly Rod

Capable of casting long distances without compromising quality or presentation delicacy, it offers remarkable line control, even at distance. Light Scandi shooting heads load this rod perfectly, ensuring a smooth and precise action.

After several years of research and development, SAGE introduces a new and highly comprehensive series of Spey rods: 13 two-handed rod models, ranging from the 12'6 line 5 to the 15' line 10, all featuring the exclusive R8 technology.
Each model has its own action, as each rod meets a specific need depending on the size of the rivers being fished, the strength of the currents, their depth, and the target fish species.
This style of fishing demands rods capable of casting and re-casting with precision and efficiency. A good two-handed rod must be able to propel and reposition a line and its fly intuitively and comfortably, with minimum fatigue and maximum pleasure in the cast and drift control.

The R8 technology, exclusive to SAGE, optimizes the three essential phases of the Spey Cast:
- Lift: the action of lifting the line from the water to form the D-loop.
- Load: the rod loading phase during the formation of the D-loop.
- Delivery: the phase of transferring energy from the rod to the fly line, leader and fly.

Recommended shooting heads:
Skagit: 450–500 grains
Scandi: 400–450 grains
