Sage Spey R8 14' lína 9

SPEY SPECIFIC / FAST ACTION / FINE-TUNED

An effective Spey cast is dependent onefficient transfers of energy in each of its three key components: the Lift,Load, and Delivery. Utilizing our proprietary Revolution 8 graphite technologyalong the full length of double-handed rod tapers results in a blank with anunmatched ability to capture and carry power, plus exceptional tracking. Energyproduced during the cast and applied directly to the rod are transmittedentirely into the line, so Spey casters aren’t required to compensate for lostenergy or imprecise rod reactions. With SPEY R8, casts are smooth, instinctual,and consistent.

Lift - Adequate stiffness, power, and responsivenesspaired with light weight ensure no efforts are wasted and fatigue is minimumwhen lifting long or heavy heads, sink tips and flies.
Load - R8 Technologymaximizes the amount of energy collected in sweep or touch-and-go moves,carries it into the D-Loop, and transfers it smoothly into the rod.
Deliver -Responsiveness and tracking abilities of R8 Technology diminish lost energy andreduce lateral movements upon the forward stroke, increasing power andaccuracy.

FINE-TUNED ACTIONS

In designing our new SPEY R8 rods, werecognized there isn’t a single rod action appropriate for the wide variety ofSpey fishing applications found around the globe. We identified four distinctSpey rod applications, each with its own unique set of requirements. This newapproach matches rod action to application, ensuring anglers have the mostfine-tuned Spey rod for their fishing. Across the family, our Revolution 8Technology ensures a remarkably smooth and intuitive feel, no matter the lineconfiguration.

CLASSIC AESTHETICS

Sage’s history designing and building Speyrods dates back to the late-1980’s - nearly the beginning of the company itself- when America’s Spey Revolution was just beginning. While the SPEY R8 family’sperformance is a culmination of our most-advanced material technology, blankdesigns, and rod weight-length configurations to date, we’ve chosen theaesthetics as a nod to our deep Spey rod history, the pioneers of this nichewithin fly fishing, and of course, the anadromous fish themselves. Every detailis a thoughtful mix of functional intention and traditional looks. The overalllook feels fresh yet familiar, is distinctively Sage, and inspires you to pickup the rods and fish them.

Blank Color - Rich and warm, Ale colored blanks paired withblack and gold trim wraps signify the meeting of history, culture, andinnovation.
