Rod Weight

Description

The Sage R8 CORE rod series sets a new benchmark for versatility. With revolutionary R8 material technology at its heart, it gives anglers a rod that adapts to almost any situation. As a result, you can fish with confidence whether you’re stalking trout in small streams, drifting nymphs through fast currents, or casting to distant risers on stillwaters.
 

A Connected Casting Experience

At its core, the R8 CORE carries forward Sage’s legacy of fast-action performance. However, it adds a deeper, more connected feel that enhances control and precision. Consequently, every cast feels smoother, more intuitive, and more in tune with both angler and water.
 

Options for Every Angler

In addition, the R8 CORE comes in a broad range of models — from 3-wt to 9-wt and in lengths between 8’6” and 10’0”. Therefore, there is always a perfect option to match the needs of any freshwater angler. With such versatility, the R8 CORE truly becomes a single family of rods built to cover nearly all freshwater scenarios.
 

Crafted with Purpose

Finally, Sage designed the R8 CORE to fish, not just to cast. With effortless energy transfer, maximized versatility, and a connected feel, it stands as one of the most complete and capable rod series ever built. Moreover, every detail — from premium components to Sage’s meticulous craftsmanship — reflects a rod built to perform beautifully and last for years.
