Sage R8 Core (Best Fly Rod For Trout) Pieces: 4 Available Sizes: 3wt9, 4wt(86,9,10), 5wt(86,9,96,10), 6wt(9,96,10), 7wt(9,96,10), 8wt(9,96,10), 9wt9 Action: Fast (5wt9 is Med-Fast) Pros: Light, excellent cork, perfect action & feel, super accurate at shorter distances Cons: Expensive, a bit of wobble in recovery in some weights I just received my first Sage R8 Core 5-weight 9-foot fly rod in the mail and I have to say that its easily one of the best trout-specific fly rods that Ive ever tried (and Ive tested & reviewed countless trout rods)
The tip on this rod is lively and can double as a finesse drop shot rod in a pinch, though the Escape rod is a bit softer than a traditional drop shot rod it still works
Its Teleport ability will teleport everyone on your team to Azuregos and reset your aggro
I also like smaller hooks rather than large and sturdy ones, and still have to experience a fish strong enough to straighten a hook
7.9 We will not issue refunds for any items lost or stolen in transit to us
I have tried to leave the case for a traditional fly rod at home to save weight and instead ended up with a broken rod resulting in no fishing on that trip- disappointing to say the least
