While the standard R8 Core is about versatility, the Power R8 is about pure, unadulterated authority. We love the \"Hot Rod Red\" blank—it looks as fast as it casts. The standout feature is how it handles heavy heads; it doesn't \"fold\" under the weight of a heavy integrated sink tip, making it a dream for chasing big lake trout or salt species. If you’re an experienced caster looking to push the boundaries of distance and control, this rod is your ticket to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"9ft \/ 6wt \/ 4pc","offer_id":52241984880821,"sku":"644269254554","price":1859.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9ft \/ 7wt \/ 4pc","offer_id":52241984913589,"sku":"644269254592","price":1859.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9ft \/ 8wt \/ 4pc","offer_id":52241984946357,"sku":"644269254608","price":1859.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/3437\/7141\/files\/sage_power_r8_fly_rod_1.png?v=1770956672","url":"https:\/\/www.bossoutdoor.com.au\/products\/sage-power-r8-fly-rod","provider":"Boss Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
