Sage R8 Core

Whether you're hiking the upper Bogachiel throwing dry flies to eager cutthroat, spending a peaceful weekend hiking the Olympics in search of that trophy trout lurking in one of the countless alpine lakes, battling wind stalking searun cutthroat and salmon in Puget Sound, or mastering your winter steelhead tactics on the Olympic Peninsula, the new line of R8 Core rods has just the right tool for the job.

R8 Core is a rod family focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward thinking lens of what we’re seeing out on the water where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its Core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8’6” to 10’0”, there’s sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler.
