Sage R8 Core 9' 6wt FB Fly Rod

Our Thoughts:

The 9' 6wt Sage R8 Core is one of the shop's favorite heavy do-all rod. This rod can handle the biggest of hoppers, heavier nymph rigs, and streamers on lighter sinking lines. A true warrior stick for our meadow streams, alpine lakes, and bigger rivers.

Here's What Sage Has To Say:

R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 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 / fast action 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.

A fighting butt version of the 690-4FB. A streamer junkie's favorite, this rod has enough power to cast big streamers or bass bugs all day. The 690-4FB is all-water ready with an anodized aluminum reel seat.
