Sage R8 Core Fly Rod — Maximum Versatility. Revolutionary R8 Technology.

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

Built with Revolution 8 technology the R8 Core delivers the lightweight responsive performance and exceptional tracking qualities that serious anglers demand across the full range of freshwater applications. Whether you are presenting delicate dry flies on a technical spring creek, nymphing deep runs on the Gunnison, swinging streamers on a big western river, or targeting species anywhere in between the R8 Core delivers the versatility and performance to get it done with confidence and precision.

Available in a comprehensive range from 3 weight to 9 weight with a variety of lengths from 8'6" to 10'0" there is sure to be an R8 Core model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler. The stunning Silver Pine blank with Slate primary thread wraps and graduated White and Grey trim gives the R8 Core a clean and modern look that is unmistakably Sage. The sustainable Ziricote wood insert with anodized aluminum uplocking reel seat on 3 to 6 weight models and gunmetal anodized aluminum uplocking reel seat on 5 to 9 weight models complete a rod that is as beautiful to hold as it is to cast. Every R8 Core features an integrated hidden hook keeper in the reel seat and is packaged in a black rod bag with new quick tie cord lock and an aluminum rod tube with Sage Medallion. Handcrafted in the USA.
