Sage Spey R8 Fly Rod — Spey Casting Synergy. Approaching Effortless.
By utilizing Sage's proprietary Revolution 8 graphite the Spey R8 heightens the smooth transfer of energy throughout the three key components of every Spey cast — lifting line off the water, loading the rod sufficiently, and delivering the fly to the target. Casts become instinctive and consistent. The result is a Spey Casting Synergy that is enjoyable and approaching effortless whether you are a seasoned two handed veteran or just beginning your Spey journey.
Fine tuned rod models and actions match the vast array of Spey situations found around the globe. Be it Steelhead on big western rivers, Atlantic Salmon on remote northern waters, King Salmon in Alaska, or Sea Run Brown Trout in Patagonia — Skagit, Scandi, or Traditional lines — the Spey R8 capitalizes on each cast increasing the likelihood of the almighty moment that every two handed angler is devoted to. This is the rod that makes every swing feel like it could be the one.
The stunning Ale blank with Grey primary thread wraps and Gold and Black trim wraps gives the Spey R8 a distinguished and elegant look that is unmistakably Sage. The aluminum downlocking reel seat with walnut insert and laser etched Sage logo on the slide band and super plus grade cork handle and rear grip with composite cork trim rings complete a rod that is as beautiful to hold as it is to cast. Every Sage Spey R8 is packaged in a black rod bag with gold Sage logo and Ale colored model tag and a low light bronze aluminum tube with granite tube cap and gold matte black Sage Medallion.
