Pack premium SAGE R8 Core 9' line 6 + SAGE Shift LT

Premium fly pack for trout and light predators, power and mastery

This premium Ardent Pêche pack combines the SAGE R8 Core 9' line 6 rod, the SAGE SHIFT LT reel, and the RIO Elite Gold WF6F line to offer a high-performing, robust, and versatile setup.

Designed for fishing on large rivers and situations requiring more power, this combo allows larger flies to be cast effectively while maintaining precision and presentation quality.

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

Power and versatility on large waters

The SAGE R8 Core 9' line 6 is perfectly suited to more open environments and demanding conditions. It allows large rivers to be covered effectively, larger flies to be fished, and sustained winds to be faced without losing control.

Its fast action ensures excellent responsiveness and facilitates line speed generation, essential for extending distances and maintaining 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, mending, or the final presentation.

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

A reliable and balanced SAGE SHIFT LT reel

Robustness and balance of the setup

The SAGE SHIFT LT reel perfectly complements this more powerful configuration. Its machined aluminium construction ensures solidity 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 high-performing waterproof carbon drag

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

The One Revolution adjustment facilitates quick changes, 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 delivering large flies with precision.

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

Optimised glide and control

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

Why choose this pack
