Be it Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon, King Salmon, or Sea-Run Brown Trout; Skagit, Scandi or Traditional lines; SPEY R8 rods capitalize on each cast, increasing the likelihood of the almighty moment that we all are devoted to. Introducing SPEY R8.
They’re there and then they’re not. Tailing, cruising, happily hoovering up every fly you put in their path—then looking at you like you’re crazy to expect them to eat that silly concoction of feathers and fur. We love bonefish because, if the flats are a world where bringing your A-game is a requirement for entry, they will occasionally settle for your B-game, and it’s hard not to feel a special kind of affection for a fish like that. Check out the SALT R8 now for your next Bonefish adventure.
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. 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.
For a long time, that casting Zen of spey was the special purview of salmon and steelhead bums, but fortunately someone came to the brilliant realization that trout will eat flies cast with a spey rod, too. Read more to dial in your perfect Trout Spey setup.
Deerhair splashing through lily pads. Crayfish bumping and rattling along stony drop-offs. Streamers the size of your forearm slinking through shallow weed beds. Though warmwater fly fishing may at times require finesse, it’s about as far from subtle as one can get with a fly rod, and that’s exactly the point.

At Sage, craftsmanship is our people. We’re not a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who design and build the world’s best fly rods and reels using our hands and hearts. We do it by sharing ideas and always asking the next question to find what can be done to make this better. Our rods are built one at time right here on Bainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passing through 23 sets of hands. Our reels are also designed right here, and then precision-crafted with exclusive USA carbon to tolerance only Sage can deliver. We’re out there fishing the same places in the same unforgiving conditions that you are. Craftsmanship is applied experience. Lifetimes of it.
