At twelve and a half feet, the 7126 can fit into tight spots, but still has the power for turnover of sink-tips and heavy flies, and enough length to adequately control line once on the water. This is an agile rod for small and medium-sized rivers.

Why this rod is on special: Owner Doug shipped a Sage One Spey rod to his son David which UPS proceeded to lose. So David selected this R8 Spey rod, same rod owner is using on upcoming salmon trip. In meantime UPS located Doug's original One rod. The avid spey angler should grab this rod at this deal before David casts Doug's rod and changes his mind, because in Doug's view the R8 is a far better rod in sensitivity and strength than the Sage X or the earlier Sage One.
