ULTRA-FAST ACTION GO FURTHER, FASTER. Humankind was born to explore. Where do rivers lead? How far can the oceans carry us? What lies beyond the horizon when we cast our eyes - and flies - into the unknown? The same spirit drives innovation at Sage. We push boundaries to find answers that deliver performance. Enter the POWER R8. Made to make fast more finesse-able, designed to cruise at the line speeds necessary for into-the-backing-knot shots, and built with the kind of R8-exclusive reserve power that handles the heaviest heads and rigs, POWER R8 gives you the keys to explore the inconceivable. It&';s your ticket to chase what others might call unreachable. The newest addition to the R8 family, POWER R8 expands on the series&'; trademark versatility with a surge of velocity- perfect for commanding control and distance in the most technical conditions. Like every rod in the R8 lineage, POWER R8 is shaped by evolving challenges and real-world demands. But with its ultrafast action, POWER R8 adds another gear- taking over where moderate, fast, and some salt-specific actions max out.
