Sage Classic R8 4WT 9'

The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us 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 enablesus to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us to pack more fiber intothe blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back forgreater feel, flow and control.

A key characteristic of our proprietary Revolution 8 graphite material is that it naturally likes to bend - unusual in most high-modulus rods. With the CLASSIC R8, we’ve fully leaned into this characteristic and applied R8 Technology to a deep loading Moderate action, resulting in rod blanks that are astoundingly lightweight and soulful - perfect for fishing at calculated, measured tempos. Due to the fiber purity and resin applications of Revolution 8 graphite, CLASSIC R8 rods retain fast recovery speeds and incredible overall strength while offering an instinctive in-hand feel. This blend of a deep load and fast recovery results in a rod that maximizes smooth energy transfer and overall feel while achieving unprecedented line speed, control, and accuracy. Thanks to R8 materials, the CLASSIC R8 has revolutionized performance at a Moderate action.
