A SAGE R8 Core 9' line 6 rod for more powerful fishing

Power and versatility on large open waters

The SAGE R8 Core 9' line 6 is perfectly suited to more open environments and demanding conditions. It allows you to cover large rivers effectively, fish with more imposing flies and face sustained winds without losing control.

Its fast action ensures excellent reactivity and facilitates the generation of line speed, essential for extending distances and keeping clean loops.

Control and stability in all circumstances

Developed with R8 Core technology, this rod offers a very high level of line control. Energy transfer is optimised to maintain great loop stability, whether during false casts, mendings or the final presentation.

It remains precise despite its power, allowing good presentation quality to be maintained, even with bulkier flies or more technical rigs.

A reliable and balanced SAGE SHIFT LT reel

Robustness and balance of the set

The SAGE SHIFT LT reel perfectly completes this more powerful configuration. Its machined aluminium construction ensures strength and durability, while maintaining a controlled weight so as not to unbalance the rod.

On a line 6, the balance of the combo is essential for maintaining comfort and precision, particularly during long drifts or extended sessions.

A powerful waterproof carbon drag

The waterproof carbon drag system provides great security during fights. Progressive, precise and consistent, it allows you to effectively manage more powerful fish, whether in rivers or on more demanding fishing.

The One Revolution adjustment makes quick adjustments easy, a real asset during key phases of the fight.

A RIO Elite Gold WF6F line to exploit the power

Distance casting and loop stability

The RIO Elite Gold WF6F is perfectly suited to this configuration. Its profile promotes medium and long distance casts with excellent loop stability, essential for propelling bulky flies with precision.

It nevertheless remains sufficiently versatile to adapt to different techniques, from robust dry fly to nymph or light streamers.

Optimised glide and control

The SlickCast coating offers exceptional glide, facilitating line shoot and improving casting fluidity. The ConnectCore Plus core increases sensitivity and control, while MaxFloat Tip technology guarantees excellent floatation for clean drifts.
