- I’m here with NW Sage Rep George Cook to introduce the new Sage Spey R8 series. We talk about the vast line-up of offerings from Switch to Spey, the different actions within the series, and I cast the 9130, one of two 9wts available in the R8 family.
When talking about the rod model please say the foot lenth and line rating. We don't get the model numbers in the UK.
Good stuff; thanks dudes !
Thanks Dave!!
I've heard nothing but positive comments regarding the R8 spey rods, and I favor a more medium medium-fast action myself. What are the grain windows for skagit and scandi for the 9130? The 700 grain launch clear hucks, but is that overlining the 9130 a bit? Given the deep bend that JH is generating with his Single Spey, I presume that one could go lighter for skagit . . . even down to 625 as a function of personal preference . . .
I haven’t tried it but all the 13 ft rods in the series bend a bit and have big grain windows. Are you thinking 625 in a Skagit or something longer?
@@speylesson6761 Thanks for the reply. Saw your review of the R8 7 weights, too. Nice to see the Rogue looking so good. I like short rods with RIO's 20 ft tips, too. But I mostly use them for Shad on the Potomac now. For the R8 13' footers sounds like 525 for 7 weight, 575 for 8 and 625/650 for the 9 would be my cup of tea. I spent a lot of Covid staying in Phoenix and chasing steelhead on the Rogue. I always wanted a 12'6" 5 weight. I am going to need an R8 mortgage.
Great sticks.
Do you have a favorite Paul?
@@speylesson6761 7126 for our Great Lakes fish.
That 7126 is a sweet one
Have the 9-130, 140 and 150. Love them. Play Atlantic salmon great too
What a load of crap these two are talking. I've got an R8 it's a good rod.
