So here it is. The fastest pole saw ever produced.

This is the successor to the Igniter and is the rod for those who want a rod that can make the ultimate narrowest line arcs and who want a rod with max power.

Created to make fast rods more responsive, designed to work at the line speeds required for deep casts, and built with the R8-exclusive reserve power to handle the heaviest heads and tackle, POWER R8 gives you the keys to exploring the unthinkable. It's your ticket to pursuing what others would call unattainable.

As the newest member of the R8 family, the POWER R8 extends the series’ signature versatility with a significant boost in speed – perfect for uncompromising control and distance in the most technical conditions. Like all other rods in the R8 series, the POWER R8 is shaped by the changing challenges and demands of the real world. But with its ultra-fast action, the POWER R8 adds an extra gear – taking over where moderate, fast and even some saltwater-specific actions reach their limits.

The new balance between power and control

When it comes to combining fast recovery, ample reserve power and ultra-fast performance, the POWER R8 lets go of the brakes. Lift line long distances, cut through rough conditions, increase reach and handle heavy tackle and oversized flies with minimal effort and maximum impact.

R8 performance

Sage's advanced R8 technology powers rod actions that are fine-tuned for maximum on-water versatility and create an intuitive connection between the angler and the fishing situation. POWER R8 rods translate these signature features into an ultra-fast action designed for higher line speed and better control – giving you the edge when matching the fish's rise rhythm, executing perfect drifts and casting in strong winds.

Trimmed for victory

The POWER R8's Hot Rod Red color emphasizes the rod's ultra-fast action and high performance. The blades are trimmed with elegant black and granite colored details and a special anodized reel seat with indexed slide band for easy adjustment and mounting of the reel. The 590-4 and 690-4 models are equipped with extra beautiful figured walnut inserts and fly keeper above the cork handle. All other models have saltwater-ready anodized aluminum reel seats with integrated fly keeper and a new cork/EVA fighting butt shape for increased comfort and control.

Combine with Sage Shift LT fly reels for a perfectly balanced setup.
