Sage R8 Core 390-4

The Sage R8 Core 390-4 is a 9-foot, 3-weight, 4-piece fly rod built for anglers who demand precision and feel in technical freshwater scenarios. With Sage’s Revolution 8 graphite technology, it delivers exceptional energy transfer and intuitive feedback, allowing for delicate presentations and confident control. Its fast action profile adapts seamlessly to dry flies, light nymphs, and dry-dropper rigs, making it a versatile tool for small to medium streams. At just 2 5/8 oz, it’s lightweight enough for all-day casting without fatigue.
Aesthetically refined and functionally elite, the 390-4 features a Silver Pine blank with Slate thread wraps, Fuji ceramic stripping guides, and a sustainable Ziricote wood reel seat. The snub-nosed half-Wells grip offers comfort and precision, while the hard chrome snake guides ensure smooth line flow. Ideal for anglers targeting wary trout with fine tippets, this rod balances finesse with backbone—making it a strategic choice for those who value both performance and craftsmanship.
