This Sage R8 Core is a great streamer rod, perfect for lots of different scenarios. If you are looking for a rod to fish for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, carp, trout, stripers, redfish, and more, this 9&'; 8wt is a great option. This would also be a great steelhead rod for throwing indicator rigs. The R8 Core series of rods are a little bit slower than the R8 Salt series so if you like that slower action rod but still want to fish streamers this is a great option. The rod is in great shape, the cork is clean and there are no scratches or blemishes to note. Rod comes with the rod sock and rod tube.
