Sage R8 Spey Fly Rod The Spey angler’s arena is exacting and exhausting. Seams and structure are often in the middle or far side of the river; bushes behind and trees above complicate casting the necessary distance. Deep and fast currents, combined with slick bedrock and boulders make wading arduous. All the while, extreme weather - rainforest deluges, high desert glare, or never-ending daylight - continuously test resolve.

For the first time in decades, Sage introduces a completely redesigned graphite technology in the Sage R8 Core Fly Rod. Expect nothing less than complete control and multi-application versatility from the flagship model in the Sage fly-rod lineup. Rod makers focused on rhythm and feel rather than the one-sided pursuit of extreme distance and brute power now so commonplace in the market.
