Utilizing our proprietary\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRevolution 8 graphite technology along the full length of double-handed rod tapers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eresults in a blank with an unmatched ability to capture and carry power, plus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eexceptional tracking. Energy produced during the cast and applied directly to the rod\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eare transmitted entirely into the line, so Spey casters aren’t required to compensate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efor lost energy or imprecise rod reactions. With SPEY R8, casts are smooth,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einstinctual, and consistent.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLift - Adequate stiffness, power, and responsiveness paired with light weight ensure\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eno efforts are wasted and fatigue is minimum when lifting long or heavy heads, sink\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etips and flies.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLoad - R8 Technology maximizes the amount of energy collected in sweep or touchand-go moves, carries it into the D-Loop, and transfers it smoothly into the rod.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeliver - Responsiveness and tracking abilities of R8 Technology diminish lost energy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand reduce lateral movements upon the forward stroke, increasing power and\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eaccuracy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFINE-TUNED ACTIONS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn designing our new SPEY R8 rods, we recognized there isn’t a single rod action\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eappropriate for the wide variety of Spey fishing applications found around the globe.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe identified four distinct Spey rod applications, each with its own unique set of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erequirements. This new approach matches rod action to application, ensuring anglers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehave the most fine-tuned Spey rod for their fishing. Across the family, our Revolution\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Technology ensures a remarkably smooth and intuitive feel, no matter the line\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003econfiguration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSage’s history designing and building Spey rods dates back to the late-1980’s - nearly the\u003cbr\u003ebeginning of the company itself - when America’s Spey Revolution was just beginning. While\u003cbr\u003ethe SPEY R8 family’s performance is a culmination of our most-advanced material technology,\u003cbr\u003eblank designs, and rod weight-length configurations to date, we’ve chosen the aesthetics as\u003cbr\u003ea nod to our deep Spey rod history, the pioneers of this niche within fly fishing, and of course,\u003cbr\u003ethe anadromous fish themselves. Every detail is a thoughtful mix of functional intention and\u003cbr\u003etraditional looks. The overall look feels fresh yet familiar, is distinctively Sage, and inspires you\u003cbr\u003eto pick up the rods and fish them.\u003cbr\u003eBlank Color - Rich and warm, Ale colored blanks paired with black and gold trim wraps signify\u003cbr\u003ethe meeting of history, culture, and innovation.\u003cbr\u003eWood Reel Seat - A traditional deep walnut insert paired with Granite machined aluminum\u003cbr\u003ecomponentry follows a classic theme and is complementary to the Ale blank color.\u003cbr\u003eCork Handles - Excels in the majority of Spey fishing situations and are best suited to handling\u003cbr\u003ea mix of line types and casting styles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"12'6\" 5wt","offer_id":43629238845639,"sku":"2058-5126-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11'6\" 7wt","offer_id":44767622234311,"sku":"2058-7116-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13'0\" 7wt","offer_id":43629238878407,"sku":"2058-7130-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13'6\" 7wt","offer_id":44767622267079,"sku":"2058-7136-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13'0\" 8wt","offer_id":43629238911175,"sku":"2058-8130-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13'0\" 9wt","offer_id":43629238943943,"sku":"2058-9130-4","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9984\/1445\/files\/speyr8sections.jpg?v=1764812288","url":"https:\/\/www.flyfishfood.mom\/products\/sage-r8-spey-fly-rod","provider":"Fly Fish Food","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
