Product Details

Multi-Application / Fast Action

For most of us, an idyllic day on the water is not when we're thinking more, but when we're thinking less. Finding that state of fishing in the moment, where instinct and experience bring us to an almost zen-like awareness of each subtle motion and movement-that's what R8 CORE is all about. It's not a race or a competition, but a state we all aim to reach out on the water. With R8 CORE we enhance that two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. This Amplified Two-Way Feedback Loop, due to our new axial fiber formulation, allows you to feel when the power needs to be applied throughout the cast, presentation, and when applying the appropriate pressure to fish - ultimately giving you the angler Complete Control.

R8 CORE is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we're seeing out on the water, where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sage's multi-application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us-from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target.

"Sage R8 Core 690-4FB"

GarrettJ on 5/29/2023 1:44:47 PM

Review: If you are wanting an above average streamer rod, I highly recommend the R8 Core 690-4FB. This is a super easy casting rod, that loads well, you can feel it load into the handle, yet it has the umph to deliver your streamer, no problem at all. Most of the time I'm more concerned with accurancy over distance, especially whan casting into brushy banks, and this rod shines, turning over flies very nicely and accurately. If I need to cast for distance its very capable of that too. This is now my go ... More details

"Love it"

Ryan Adamson on 9/18/2022 8:54:46 AM

Review: I bought the 8'6 5w. Casts like a dream and I personally like the slightly shorter version. The trend seems to be the other way, but I would urge people to try the shorter one. I love it!
