R8 Core 690-4 9'0" 6-Weight 4-Piece Fly Rod
The Sage R8 Core 690-4 9'0" 6-Weight 4-Piece Fly Rod is a very powerful trout rod designed to cast large, heavy, and wind-resistant flies long distances or into heavy winds. This is a great choice when fishing for big river trout and smallmouth bass. The R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology. The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables Sage to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, a proprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables Sage to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows Sage to pack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control.
