The new Sage Classic R8 Fly Rods inspire a measured pace while fishing, allowing anglers to take in the surroundings and find the moments they seek. A key characteristic of Sage's proprietary Revolution 8 graphite material is that it naturally likes to bend - unusual in most modern high-modulus rods. With the Classic R8, the applied R8 Technology lends 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.
