Finesse, precision and lightness

The SAGE R8 Core 9' 4-weight 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 backbone 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 optimised, allowing clean and stable loops to be maintained even with technical movements or in slightly windy conditions.

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

A lightweight and perfectly matched SAGE SHIFT LT reel

Balance and comfort in fishing action

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

Its machined aluminium 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 quick and precise tuning, particularly useful when fighting wary fish or in strong current.

Even on a lightweight setup, this drag level provides security and control.

A RIO Elite Gold WF4F fly line for perfect presentations

A fly line designed for precision

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

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

Glide and sensitivity at the service of the angler

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