Sage Power R8 Fly Rod

The Sage Power R8 Fly Rod is the newest and most exhilarating addition to the revolutionary R8 family, meticulously engineered for anglers driven to go further, faster. This rod embodies Sage's spirit of innovation, pushing boundaries to deliver unparalleled performance and is explicitly designed to handle the most demanding conditions and heaviest payloads. It's your ticket to chase what others might call unreachable!

The Power R8 expands on the R8 series' trademark versatility with an undeniable surge of velocity. It's purpose-built to cruise at the line speeds necessary for into-the-backing-knot shots, allowing you to explore the inconceivable. This is a rod made to make fast more finesse-able, delivering a unique blend of raw power and refined casting feel that commands attention on the water.

With its ultrafast action, the Power R8 adds another gear, taking over where moderate, fast, and even some salt-specific actions max out. This high-speed performance is crucial for achieving high line speed at distance and low angles, maximising both power and stealth.

At its core, the Power R8 is shaped by Sage's ground-breaking Revolution 8 Technology. This exclusive R8-exclusive reserve power handles the heaviest heads and rigs, giving you the power to lift at distance, and deliver sinking density lines and heavy flies with effortless authority.

The rod is specifically tuned to give you the control to drive casts into the wind effectively. Its immense reserve power ensures that even bulky streamers and sinking lines are turned over efficiently, helping you maintain control and accuracy when conditions turn south.

Beyond its formidable performance, the Sage POWER R8 boasts premium, corrosion-resistant components and a striking aesthetic that reflects its advanced capabilities:

Striking "Hot Rod Red" Blank: The rod features a distinctive Hot Rod Red blank colour, setting it apart on the water.

Refined Wraps: Adorned with Burgundy base wraps with Grey and Black trim wraps, offering a sophisticated and elegant finish.

High-Performance Guide System: Equipped with durable Hard Chrome Snake Guides and Tip-Top for smooth line flow and minimal friction. The stripping guides are premium Fuji K-Series Tangle Free Stripping Guides, with a SiC Ring, specifically chosen for their ability to reduce line tangles during the shoot and maximise casting efficiency.

Complete Protection and Portability: Each rod is supplied with a Black Rod Bag with Quick-Tie Cord Lock for fast and easy storage, and a robust Aluminium Rod Tube with Sage Medallion, ensuring your investment is protected during travel and storage.
