The Sage Power R8 Fly Rod gives anglers the strength and speed needed to deliver long casts and tight loops to target steelhead, salmon, bass, and other species in wide water or when punching through wind. Powered by Sage's Revolution 8 Technology, the rod produces high line speed at distance and low angles while maintaining feel and control. Its Hot Rod Red blank with burgundy base wraps accented by grey and black trim offers a striking look, while Fuji K-Series tangle-free stripping guides with SiC rings and hard chrome snake guides keep line flowing smoothly. Each rod includes a black rod bag with a quick tie cord lock and a protective aluminum tube stamped with the Sage medallion, making it ready for travel and storage between trips.
