Sage R8 Core

R8 Core is a rod family focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through Sage's forward thinking lens of what they'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 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.

Sage Maverick Fly Rod

Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts. Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into "the zone" for high odds at a hookup. The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage's new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick–shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities. With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.
