A SAGE R8 Core 9' line weight 4 rod dedicated to fine fishing

Finesse, precision, and lightness

The SAGE R8 Core 9' line weight 4 stands out for its remarkable balance between finesse and power reserve. It allows you to approach dry fly and light nymph fishing with maximum precision, while retaining enough response to handle active fish and longer drifts.

Its fast action delivers excellent responsiveness, while remaining progressive and pleasant, which facilitates delicate presentations and improves presentation quality.

Exceptional line control

Thanks to R8 Core technology, this rod offers very precise line control, whether during false casts, mends, or the final presentation. Energy transfer is optimized, allowing clean and stable loops to be maintained, even with technical movements or in slightly windy conditions.

This 9' line weight 4 model is particularly well-suited to anglers seeking a fine and controlled approach, with excellent line reading.

A SAGE SHIFT LT reel — light and perfectly suited

Balance and comfort in fishing action

The SAGE SHIFT LT integrates perfectly into this finesse-oriented setup. Its ultra-light design preserves the overall balance of the combo, essential for maintaining sensitivity and comfort during long sessions.

Its machined aluminum construction guarantees robustness and durability, without compromising lightness.

Precise and reliable sealed carbon drag

Equipped with a sealed carbon drag, the SHIFT LT ensures smooth and consistent tension management. The One Revolution adjustment system allows for fast and precise adjustment, particularly useful when fighting wary fish or in strong currents.

Even on a light configuration, this level of drag provides security and control.

A RIO Elite Gold WF4F line for perfect presentations

A line designed for precision

The RIO Elite Gold WF4F perfectly completes this pack by reinforcing its qualities of precision and versatility. Its profile facilitates clean casts with excellent loop stability, while allowing fine presentations thanks to a taper suited to long leaders.

It is ideal for dry fly fishing, but remains very effective in light nymphing or wet fly.

Glide and sensitivity at the service of the angler

The SlickCast coating ensures exceptional glide, reducing friction and improving line shoot. The ConnectCore Plus core promotes better sensitivity and increased control, while MaxFloat Tip technology guarantees excellent flotation for natural drifts.
