Sold – Sage Payload 889-4 - ROD1164

The Sage Payload 889-4 is a specialized 8-weight, 8-foot 9-inch rod engineered specifically for casting heavy lines and wind-resistant flies. It excels at delivering large streamers to pike, bass, or saltwater species in challenging conditions. The slightly shorter length provides increased leverage for fighting fish and lifting sinking lines off the water with minimal effort, making it an ideal tool for long days of blind casting.

Built on Sage's proprietary Konnetic Technology, this rod features a powerful tip section designed to transition smoothly into a stiff butt section. This taper maximizes energy transfer to turn over bulky flies without tiring out your arm. The composite cork fighting butt and top grip add durability where it matters most, ensuring a secure hold during aggressive casts and intense fights.

This rod is in Great condition and has been thoroughly inspected by the team at Recast Fly Fishing to ensure it meets our high standards. Choosing pre-owned gear allows you to fill your toolbox with premium equipment while reducing your environmental impact. This is an excellent opportunity to own a dedicated streamer rod at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Add this powerhouse to your collection before your next big trip.
