From wind, weather and tides to spooky fish, seasonal migrations and salty guides, it’s a different game with a different set of rules in venues that range from tournaments and Grand Slam flats to legendary bonefish lodges and hushed redfish beaches. The shots are fewer, the stakes are higher and seconds matter in sight fishing. By the third false cast, your time—at least for that fish—has passed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut more than just delivering a fly on demand, saltwater sight fisheries necessitate a different tool than what works for your standard trout stream. A rod that loads quickly and predictably, a sweet spot more intuitive to feel. More strength to land fish quicker and more touch for precision short shots. A more durable rod that is built to survive both long skiff runs and remote destinations - where broken rods are absolutely heartbreaking. A precisely honed taper that will ensure your fly is presented in the right place at the right time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost salt rods are built for pure power and ultimate strength—that is, table stakes for the venue and the discipline. With our new R8 graphite, adding 25% more strength-per-weight was the easy part—a simple function of material advancement—but one that also increased the fight in the rod even down to our six-weight. We increased the pure pulling power without the need to add more material, fillers or reinforcement. The outcome is simple, providing the ability for faster landing times and reducing fish stress and catch-and-release pressure on ever-so-delicate ecosystems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore strength and fight were an obvious upgrade, yet few salt rods, especially in the heavier weights, achieve the importance of feel for fine touch shots and precise presentations. Shaping a taper that brought this increased touch into the equation took more time. Yet after a long residence in the birthplace of saltwater fly fishing and working directly with the experienced guides there, our rod designers found the right profile and fibre alignment that delivered strength, fine touch presentation, and a more intuitive sweet spot to a class of rods that have long had a reputation as unwieldy, unforgiving and difficult. With the Sage SALT R8, gone are the days of sacrificing the feel and touch in your saltwater rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevolution 8 technology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25% Greater Strength Per Rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntuitive Sweet Spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaltwater Specific Guide Set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-Duty Reel Seat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempest blue blank colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlate primary thread wraps with graduated white and grey trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium flor grade cork handle w\/EVA butt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack rod bag with new cord lock for quicker, easier, and cleaner storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium rod tube with Sage medallion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"2055-890-4, 9ft 0in, 8 Line, 4.00oz","offer_id":42642928402625,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC008270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2055-990-4, 9ft 0in, 9 Line, 4.13oz","offer_id":42642928435393,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC009270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2055-1090-4, 9ft 0in, 10 Line, 4.50oz","offer_id":42642928468161,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC010270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2055-1190-4, 9ft 0in, 11 Line, 5.00oz","offer_id":47262012866753,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC011270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2055-1290-4, 9ft 0in, 12 Line, 5.13oz","offer_id":47262015258817,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC012270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2055-1290-4FG, 9ft 0in, 12 Line, 5.31oz","offer_id":47474333745345,"sku":"RODSAGSR84PC12F270","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2396\/7713\/files\/RODSAGSR84PC-6.jpg?v=1685107526"},{"product_id":"sage-spey-ii-fly-reel-granite","title":"Sage Spey II Fly Reels - Granite","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sage Spey II Reels are the result of 40 years of designing, fishing, and tinkering combined with their enduring passions of Spey fishing for anadromous species. During that period, they’ve watched - and in many cases driven - innovation in the Spey world in real-time: material advancements, rod and line development, evolutions in fishing and casting techniques, and the discovery of new swung fly fisheries. As a result of all those years of experience and collective understanding, they’ve determined the very specific demands that modern Spey anglers place on their reels. They’ve taken this information and applied it to the new SPEY Reels .\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInternally, SPEY Reels utilize a redesigned, sealed, carbon fibre disc and dual-clicker drag system that ensures dependability, eliminates unwarranted spool rotation, and offers exceptional resonance. Mass and balance were given equally-high attention in their design process as they updated model sizing to better align with matching Spey rods and they adjusted the location of the reel foot to provide uniform axial balance with the rod. A full-frame design eliminates the possibility of shooting lines slipping between spool and frame while the addition of a machined radius around the reel foot for comfortable wrapping of leader, tip, or tippet. Completing the package is a classic and elegant aesthetic of porting and laser engraving that Spey anglers can acknowledge and appreciate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDRAG SYSTEM - Newly Formulated O-Ring Seals \/ Custom Dual Clicker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPEY Reels are built on the foundation of their longstanding Sealed Carbon System (SCS) Drag and improved upon with two key evolutions: newly formulated O-ring seals, and custom dual-clickers. The drag systems are sealed by their new and proprietary O-rings, which are designed to withstand greater amounts of compression. This ensures a stronger seal while at the same time resisting wear and fatigue. They also redesigned the clicker system, adding a second clicker. In addition to increased amplification and improved durability, the dual-clicker design also limits free spool rotation, so fishing distance isn’t inadvertently decreased while fishing. The SPEY Reels’ One-Revolution Drag Knob has twenty numbered drag settings with half-detents, allowing for precise, consistent, and replicable drag settings that can be returned to over and over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFRAME SYSTEM - Fine-Tuned Balance \/ Consistent Line Management\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frame and spool designs of the SPEY Reels focus on the Spey system’s balance as a whole and also the unique lines and riggings used in two-handed casting and fishing. The location and amount of the reels’ portings (or lack thereof) are strategic, resulting in an overall weight that is appropriate for longer Spey rods. Additionally, they adjusted the location of the reel foot from an exact-centre position to better align with the centre of mass of the reels themselves. In the machining of the reel foot, we included radiused edges; this prevents any kinking, memory, or compromising of the Spey leader, tip, or tippet. Retrieval direction is also changed easily with a flip of the clutch bearing. Lastly, our spool design features full-frame line guards to eliminate any chances of shooting line migration, a wide palming rim to allow for additional control while fighting fish, and also capacity dimensions to match larger-diameter Spey lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCS Drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Revolution Drag Knob with numbered and detented settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius cornered reel foot to prevent line\/leader abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre-Of-Mass balanced reel foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge arbor for fast line pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcave, ported arbor for greater strength and capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull frame construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal porting for classic look and better balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully machined 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"32-7500R56701, Spey II Granite, 5\/6\/7 Line, 550gr Skagit Head + 100ft SL + 150 yds\/20lb, 3.94in, 9.44oz","offer_id":48339795247297,"sku":"REESAGSPEIIRGRA567","price":574.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"32-7500R67801, Spey II Granite, 6\/7\/8 Line, 600gr Skagit Head + 100ft SL + 150 yds\/30lb, 4.19in, 10.31oz","offer_id":47609974554817,"sku":"REESAGSPEIIRGRA678","price":574.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"32-7500R891001, Spey II Granite, 8\/9\/10 Line, 725gr Skagit Head + 100ft SL + 200 yds\/30lb, 4.56in, 11.25oz","offer_id":47609974587585,"sku":"REESAGSPEIIRGRA891","price":599.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2396\/7713\/files\/REESAGSPEIIRGRA-4A.jpg?v=1778665964"},{"product_id":"sage-spey-r8-double-handed-fly-rod","title":"Sage Spey R8 Double Handed Fly Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn effective Spey cast is dependent on efficient transfers of energy in each of its three key components: the Lift, Load, and Delivery.
