NEW Sage R8 Spey and Spey II Reel | First Look

Sage sent us the new Sage Spey R8 two hander and the all new Spey II Reel to get a first look. We sent Fred from the Great Falls shop to get his initial thoughts. The Spey R8 utilizes a proprietary graphite technology they call Revolution 8. The Sage R8 and Spey II will be available January 16th, 2024 at all House of Fly locations and on our website.
