| Sage R8 Core Fast Action Single Handed Fly Rods - Details | Back To Power R8 |  | Sage's Power R8 Fly Rod Series delivers high line speed at distance and low angles, with power To lift and deliver sinking lines and heavy flies. UK Stockist.
Made to make fast more finessable, 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.
THE NEW BALANCE OF POWER
When it comes to blending quick recovery, ample reserve power, and ultra-fast performance – POWER R8 takes the foot off the brakes. Lift lines at distance, cut through ripping conditions, increase range, and mobilise heavy rigs and supersize flies with minimal effort and maximum punch.
R8 PERFORMANCE
Sage’s advanced R8 Technology is the driver behind rod actions tuned for maximum on-water versatility, creating an intuitive connection between the angler and the angling at hand. POWER R8 rods translate those signature attributes into an ultra-fast action stick made for increased line speed capabilities and control, giving you an edge when matching rise cadences, executing drifts, and casting in gusty conditions.
TRIMMED TO WIN
POWER R8’s Hot Rod Red colourway speaks to the ultra-fast action and high-performance qualities of the rod. Blanks are trimmed with sleek black-and-granite accents and a custom anodised reel seat with an indexed slide band for easy alignment and installation of the reel. Both 590-4 and 690-4 models feature extra-figured walnut wood inserts and a hook keeper above the cork. All other models are fitted with saltwater-ready anodised aluminium reel seats with built-in hook keepers and a new cork/EVA fighting butt shape for added comfort and control.
