The all-new "LIMITED EDITION" Front Range Olive colorway, available in a select few models, is inspired by the natural tones of one of North America’s keystone fly fishing venues - Colorado’s Front Range. The blank color brings to mind the earthen landscape of the high desert, canyons, and cobble found throughout the Front Range’s iconic lakes and streams. Olive thread wraps remind us of the evergreen pines, junipers, and firs adorning the Rocky Mountain hillsides. Finished with a contrasting Myrtle wood reel seat and Stealth Black anodized aluminum hardware, the new Front Range Olive R8 CORE is right at home in the heart of western trout country.
R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we're seeing out on the water - where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 Core traces a direct lineage to Sage's multi-application / fast action vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target.
The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, a proprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables us to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us to pack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control.

Where else could the idea to use impregnated wool for a strike indicator come from, other than New Zealand? Our set included tool, rubber tubing and impregnated indicator yarn (DWR Indicator).
It's simple to use:
1: Form a loop in your leader using the tool2: Slide this tubing, which you slid onto the tool before starting, over the end of the loop 3: The loop is now ready4: Insert the required length of indicator yarn into the loop5: Push the tubing over the indicator yarn.
The strike indicator is ready to use and can be positioned on your leader as needed, by simply sliding it into position. The indicator can be removed from your leader in the reverse order, without the tool, and used again.
Tool Length: 6.5 cm
This highly visible strike indicator, treated with Durable Water Repellent impregnation, floats particularly well. It is simply run onto the leader and slides without resistance through the rod guides. For light fishing it can be divided lengthwise. By combing out the wool, the volume of the indicator can be increased. Ideal also for the Pro bite indicator.
RIO’S TECHNICAL EURO NYMPH LEADER has been designed for the ultimate in performance when fishing any of the European nymphing techniques. The extra-long, ultra-thin leader is incredibly sensitive to the subtlest of grabs, and the two-tone indicator tippet tied to the front end has high contrast and is very easy to see. The leader finishes with a RIO tippet ring so anglers can quickly and easily attach the tippet of their choice.
