Sage Salt R8 990-4 Grand Slam Permit Limited Edition - ROD1380

Sight-casting to cruising permit on windblown flats demands immediate loading power, surgical accuracy, and the backbone to drive heavy crab patterns straight into the breeze. The Sage Salt R8 990-4 Grand Slam Permit Limited Edition (229 of 400) delivers fast line speed, intuitive feel, and exceptional lifting leverage for salt flats anglers. Sized specifically for permit, big bonefish, striped bass, and redfish, this 9-weight, 9' fly rod loads quickly at short range while maintaining the strength needed to haul long casts across open water. Its fast action profile provides rapid tip recovery to track straight through heavy winds, absorbing aggressive runs while keeping firm pressure on powerful fish.

Handcrafted on Bainbridge Island, Washington, this limited release features Revolution 8 Technology with an advanced axial fiber matrix that transfers casting energy efficiently from grip to tip. What sets this Grand Slam edition apart is its bespoke aesthetic detailing, including a laser-engraved permit graphic on the heavy-duty anodized reel seat, custom accent thread wraps, and a matching limited-edition rod tube. Built with corrosion-resistant Fuji ceramic stripping guides and hard chrome snake guides, the setup pairs collector-grade craftsmanship with saltwater durability.
