    SAGE R8 CORE 896-4 FLY ROD OUTFIT : 8WT, 9'06"

    The Sage R8 Core 896-4 fly rod outfit includes the award winning R8 Core fly rod, the beautiful Sage Spectrum LT silver pine fly reel, a RIO Perception WF floating fly line, Dacron backing, RIO Tapered Leader, and gorgeous white Sage aluminum rod tube and rod sock.

    The Sage R8 Core 8wt 9'0" fly rod is the best model for heavy freshwater, like steelhead or salmon, or the ideal model for bonefish, permit, or smaller redfish. The 8wt is truly the most versatile saltwater model that you can incorporate to you collection as it can handle a wide variety of applications. Freshwater anglers will find the 8wt 9'6" model perfect for largemouth bass, large carp, steelhead, salmon, and saltwater flats angling.

    The R8 Core features a new pattern of woven carbon fiber that allowed Sage to impart more of their proprietary resin into the blank. The result of this new pattern means that the rod is stronger farther up the blank than competitors. The combination of the new carbon fiber pattern and more resin makes the rod incredibly light in hand while not sacrificing any strength in the top 1/3rd of the rod. The new Revolution 8 Technology makes the R8 one of the most technologically advanced rods on the market. The R8 is finished with a dark olive blank, grey primary guide wraps with a handsome gradient grey-to-white tipping.

    SAGE SPECTRUM LT 7/8 FLY REEL (Silver Pine color matches Sage R8 rod) 


    The Sage Spectrum LT 7/8 Reel is Sage’s response to the need for an ultralight, all-purpose reel for freshwater trout and bass. The Spectrum LT 7/8 Reel gives you unprecedented control over your rig by being exceedingly light weight to perfectly balance with your rod while utilizing Sage’s SCS drag system to manage anything at the end of your line.


    The Spectrum LT reel brings a sophisticated, high-performance drag system to an ultralight rigid frame. The One Revolution Drag Knob offers quick and precise settings and provides the kind of power and smoothness found in traditional drag systems, without the bulk or weight. Built around Sage’s Sealed Carbon System (SCS), the smooth engagement and consistent, dependable, and repeatable pressure, allows you to fish with confidence knowing your tippet is protected. The SCS drag uses US made carbon to easily handle high pressure and quickly dissipates kinetic energy into thermal energy and the entire system is sealed to keep out water, sand, grit, and salt.

    • One revolution drag knob with 40 numbered settings
    • Large arbor for fast line pick-up

    NEW! RIO ELITE PERCEPTION FLY LINE 

    The Elite RIO Perception is an easy casting, general purpose fly line that casts nymphs, dry flies, streamers and soft hackles with ease. The short head makes this a particularly good line on smaller rivers and lakes when long distance line control is not necessary. This line is built with RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines, with the added benefits of incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
