Sage R8 Core First Impressions and Review | Sage R8 696 - 9'6" 6wt

The R8 is Sage's flagship fly rod, and our fly fishing guide, Mickey Finn, couldn't wait to get his hands on one. Mickey's model of choice is the 9' 6" six weight. In this video, he discusses why he chose this model, what he looks for in a fly rod and why the Sage R8 is perfect for a lot of anglers in a lot of fishing situations, from chasing trout in Kosciuszko to flathead on the south coast.

Presented by Mickey Finn. Filmed and edited by Dean Johnson
