No word but I have noticed Sage Salt fly rods on discounts lately. Time for the R8 Salt?

Sage FTX...the first metaverse based fly rod fully backed by blockchain technology.

If you ask the marketing guys they will tell you the rod is better than sex

From a recently received Florida Keys Outfitters newsletter:

"Far Bank is coming with the new Sage Salt R8 in early spring. Lighter and with more feel than the Salt HD."

I'm here! I shall be your Sage! Oh, wait, you meant a Sage Fly rod! They never come out with anythihng new....

I wish they would come out with the original XP again! Just sayin'! Us old guys like slower things... well, some of us!

I'm on the edge of my seat. Let the hyperbole begin.

That is very well known....However I have never heard of Far Banks coming out with a new rod, it always been Sage. Sage introduces...Sage presents.... but now its Far Bank......Its like the name Sage is slowly being tucked away

Could maybe be the way it's phrased in the original post by the Florida Keys Outfitters. We would need to check the Far Bank website to see how they announced their new arrival. Either way it will be interesting to see what this new rod is like.

Yell at the outfitter He was the one saying Far Banks. I am 100% that when the time comes, "Sage" will be introducing the new rod, not Far Bank.

It's gotta be hard on any company to produce the same thing over and over again for decades and call it something new every other year.

When we bought our house it was green but we painted it gray with white details and it became much airier and lighter from view. But it was still the same space/walls /innards as the same house.

I loved the idea of sage rods back in the day, You know support a Washington based fly rod company. These days I don’t even consider them. That’s just me though.

Me too. Same with Rio. I prefer rods made by Scott and Loomis and lines made by SA or Airflo.

Skip Loomis and pencil in Winston, otherwise we’re casting in the same direction.

Sorry for being bored. I'm sure my no name $200 rod isn't that much different than the new $1500 status symbol...

 

[Herkileez]

Word is the new rod is produced with the newly-announced energy fusion technology.....and comes in any weight you want it to identify with.
That's gotta be expensive.
