SAGE R8 SALT 690-4 FLY ROD : 6WT 9'0"

R8 Salt is the new flagship saltwater fly rod series from Sage, built on their first new graphite technology in over 20 years, to deliver the ultimate saltwater casting performance for anglers of all experience levels. The all-new Revolution 8 Axial Fiber Formation technology transfers energy more efficiently, delivering a powerful fast action, without sacrificing responsiveness and feel. Sage R8 Salt fly rods feature a larger sweet spot with an intuitive feel, so any angler can make quick, accurate shots, then pick up and redirect second shots. These rods fish as well as they cast, with unique saltwater tapers and powerful lower sections for improved fish fighting and lifting power. 

R8 Salt is the next generation of the legendary Salt HD, one of the finest saltwater rods ever produced, and the performance difference is notable. The new R8 Salt rods don’t feel stiff for a rod this fast and are lightweight enough to cast all day without fatigue. The biggest difference is R8 Salt makes short work of punching flies into the wind and the providing incredible feel when the entire rod loads down to the stout butt section.

The Sage R8 Salt 690-4 fly rod is the perfect choice for light saltwater adventure when the wind calms down. Many saltwater species can be targeted with a 6wt rod and lightweight tackle provides additional excitement and requires more skill to target bonefish and other species feeding on the flats. This versatile 6wt model is also the ultimate all-purpose smallmouth bass or streamer rod, throwing laser loops with precision accuracy. The freshwater/saltwater crossover capabilities of the R8 Salt 690-4 excel at a wide range of fishing scenarios, making it one of the most versatile 6wts on the market.
