Sage Power R8 Fly Rods

The Power R8 is a pure Sage, a Sage without apology or asterisk.  This fly rod carries the Sage blood line like no other in their formidable lineup.  In previous generations, Sage’s ultra-fast action fly rods (Igniter, Method, TCX, TCR) were specialty tools for outlying applications.  Power R8 bring even more fire than these predecessors while being notably lighter in hand and easier to cast.  Distance and line speed come faster and more naturally.  That’s why they are more powerful in the hands of every angler.  By fine tuning the tapers of their ultra-fast rods, Peter Knox and the Sage team have delivered the new standard for fast action rods and the Sage company in general.  Everyone needs a Power R8 in their quiver.  There is simply nothing like them in the fly rod market.

The Power R8 truly excels in strong wind, outperforming other fast-action rods.  They cast sinking lines, streamer lines, wind resistant flies, conehead streamers and awkward nymph/indicator rigs with authority, but the Power R8 are also fine dry fly rods.  If you like it al dente, these are your sticks.
