Sage Spey R8 Premium Spey Outfit

Items included in this package

• Sage Spey R8 Rod

  Sage Spey R8 rods feature the latest and greatest  technology in graphite rods. They are incredibly lightweight, responsive, and powerful rods. They are almost effortless to cast, and they look great! Sage Spey R8 rods have a very classic blank color that is reminiscent of Sage rods from the early days of the company. They have down locking reel seats, Flor grade cork, Fuji K-Series Tangle Free Stripping Guides and come in a cloth rod sock inside of an aluminum rod tube. Offered in the 13' 6wt (6130-4), the 13' 7wt (7130-4), the 12' 6" 8wt (8126-4) and the 13' 8wt (8130-4), but we can accommodate for any of the Sage Spey R8 Spey or Switch rods in the line-up. If you would prefer a different weight and length then the four that we are offering, just give us a call and we'll be happy to get you the rod you want! Contact us.  More info.

• Sage Spey II Reel
  

  Sage Spey II reels are a modern take on what a Spey reel should be! They have an old school look to them and are packed with great modern features. Let nostalgia take over with the Sage Spey II reel, a modern throwback to the vaunted Sage 500 Series reels. The reel is fully machined and then anodized and has minimal porting to increase weight and durability, to balance better long spey rods, and add ballast to the casting stroke. The reel features a full cage frame design for added durability as well as keeping thin running line where it should be. It has a very powerful fully sealed easily adjustable drag, and a large reel handle that is easy too find even with cold hands and gloves on. It also comes with a Sage neoprene reel cover for protection. More info.

• RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch Shooting Head
  

  We paired our Sage Spey R8 outfits with RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch shooting heads. Skagit Max Launch heads are very popular, and for good reason. Skagit Max Launch heads are very nice casting lines which are capable of very tight, good looking loops, and make casting large heavy flies and sink tips very easy and fun. The back few feet of the head is dark blue, transitioning into a aqua blue front section of the shooting head. The dark blue in the back of the head makes it easy to see the junction from the shooting head to the running line in any light conditions, something that is overlooked in some other lines out there. The dark blue section also makes tracking the line through the swing really easy.   More info.

• RIO Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line

  RIO’s Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line is a great shooting line for Skagit and Scandi shooting heads. It feels like a traditional coated running line, but it shoots with the line speed of mono. The ultra slick coating floats high on the surface of the water to decrease drag, and maximize distance. Powerflex Ultra Shooting lines feature bulletproof welded loops on the back and front of the running line for quick rigging. RIO's Powerflex Ultra Shooting lines come in five different diameters and core strengths, and we've paired the perfect running for each outfit. More info.

• RIO MOW Tip Kit With Wallet
  

  RIO MOW Tip Kits include, a ten foot floating tip, 7.5' floating/2.5' sinking, 5' floating/5' sinking, 2.5' floating/7.5' sinking, 10' full sinking, and 12.5' full sinking tips, all stored neatly in RIO's leader wallet. MOW tips cast great with RIO Elite Skagit Max launch Shooting heads and on the Sage Spey R8 rods. They have a very low stretch core to give the angler the ability to feel even the lightest of grabs from fish. There's a tip in the wallet for every situation. From skating dries in greasy tailouts, to hovering a fly behind boulders, to dredging deep buckets.  More info.

• Scientific Anglers Backing

  Scientific Anglers' backing is very thin, highly durable and the colors are colorfast. We've been using it for years on everything from trout to billfish and haven't run into a single inconsistency. Your outfit will come with the perfect amount backing already loaded onto the reel and attached to your line. We only use the best knots to rig your setup. We use the Bimmini Twist loop knot then seal it with glue to connect your backing to your running line.  More info.

• RIO Steelhead & Salmon Leader - 6-foot

  RIO's Steelhead and Salmon Leaders are perfectly designed for anadromous species such as steelhead and salmon. Its clear, non-glare finish disappears in all water conditions. Its knotless taper has a thicker butt section and uses a slightly stiffer copolymer for abrasion-resistance and for turning over larger flies. The leader already comes with a perfection knot on the butt of the leader and will come in the package already attached to a sink-tip on your reel. Just add fly and go fishing! More info.
