As part of an effort to raise awareness and funds for key conservation initiatives, and jointly offer unique passion projects from our design team to you, we are incredibly proud to introduce a special project that was born through the dedication and collaboration of our rod designers and some of the best saltwater guides in the world – SALT R8 TARPON ONE - an 8’10” one-piece limited-edition model of our acclaimed 11 weight SALT R8.
With a semi-mirrored and chrome-like finish, the all-new Flint colorway offers a modern take on two unique Sage reel chassis - the CLICK and TROUT. Inspired by the progressive feel of raw machined aluminum, Flint captures the essence of sophistication, precision, and craftsmanship found in these two iconic reel families.
The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel.
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.
Be it Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon, King Salmon, or Sea-Run Brown Trout; Skagit, Scandi or Traditional lines; SPEY R8 rods capitalize on each cast, increasing the likelihood of the almighty moment that we all are devoted to. Introducing SPEY R8.

At Sage, craftsmanship is our people. We’re not a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who design and build the world’s best fly rods and reels using our hands and hearts. We do it by sharing ideas and always asking the next question to find what can be done to make this better. Our rods are built one at time right here on Bainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passing through 23 sets of hands. Our reels are also designed right here, and then precision-crafted with exclusive USA carbon to tolerance only Sage can deliver. We’re out there fishing the same places in the same unforgiving conditions that you are. Craftsmanship is applied experience. Lifetimes of it.
