The R8 Spey Switch 11'6 line 8 is the ideal rod for overgrown rivers, where the absence of back space makes conventional casting difficult.
More powerful than the line 7 version, it excels in situations requiring the use of very fast-sinking tips or heavy, bulky flies.

Description
Agile and versatile, it allows precise fishing in confined areas where large two-handed rods are ineffective.
Switch rods, also known as short two-handed rods, are designed for small to medium rivers, offering an excellent compromise between power, maneuverability and stealth.
It handles Skagit or Scandi shooting heads perfectly, even with tips of varying densities, and delivers all the energy needed to reach the most challenging lies.
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: 500–550 grains
Scandi: 450–500 grains
