Sage Classic R8 Fly Rods

Sage Classic R8 reveals that Sage really wants to offer a more dedicated rod for the dry fly angler. In hindsight, many regard its predecessor, the Trout LL, as a medium-fast action rod for all techniques and fishing scenarios. Then Sage introduced the R8 Core, which occupies similar space. Classic R8 is a group of true medium-action rods that load progressively and deeply, lighter than Trout LL and with superior loop control and “touchy” characteristics. Less versatile but more purposeful than Trout LL, the R8 Classic series will be a compelling choice for the angler who reaches for a specific rod to match conditions and opportunities, especially when the wind lays down and fish rise.
