The Ultimate "All-Water" Multi-Tool. Amplified Feedback and Effortless Power.

If you are looking to Trade Up to the most versatile rod in the Sage lineup, the R8 Core 890-4 is a masterclass in modern graphite technology. This rod isn't just a "saltwater" or "freshwater" tool—it is an all-water performer designed to bridge the gap between delicate presentation and raw lifting power. While it retails for $1,100.00 new, this "Excellent Condition" 8-weight model gives you flagship performance with a significantly connected feel.

Why You Need This Rod

The 9' 8-weight is Sage's most popular heavy-duty model for a reason. Built with Revolution 8 (R8) technology, this rod features a new axial fiber formulation that allows you to feel exactly when to apply power throughout the cast. It is powerful enough to punch a Bonefish fly through a 20-knot headwind or wrestle a Silver Salmon in heavy current, yet it possesses a sensitive tip that makes it feel more like a 6-weight in the hand. It transitions seamlessly from the flats to the bass pond, offering an "amplified feedback loop" that makes every cast more intuitive.
