Sage Spectrum Fly Reel

The Sage SPECTRUM Fly Reel is the definitive choice for the angler seeking a versatile, high-performance reel that can handle a wide spectrum of fly fishing applications. From delicate presentations for Brown trout to battling powerful Tarpon, this reel delivers the signature Sage performance and reliability in a durable, feature-packed design. Modelled after the popular and proven Sage 4200 series, the fully machined SPECTRUM is a true large arbour fly reel that offers the perfect blend of classic aesthetics and modern function.

SCS Drag: The Heart of Performance: The reel is built around Sage’s exclusive Sealed Carbon System (SCS) Drag. Tuned specifically for each size, this high-grade, US-made carbon system provides smooth, consistent, and dependable pressure. It's a fully sealed drag system that keeps out water, sand, and grit, ensuring reliable performance in both freshwater and saltwater environments. This confidence-inspiring drag helps protect your tippet and efficiently dissipates the kinetic energy of a running fish, giving you total control.

Precision Drag Control: The one-revolution drag knob is a model of simplicity and efficiency. It features 10 numbered settings and 20 detented settings, allowing for quick, repeatable, and precise adjustments. This eliminates the guesswork of setting your drag and lets you focus on the fish.

Large Arbour & Concave Spool: The large arbour design is a key feature for modern fly reels, offering fast line pick-up that is crucial for staying connected with fast-moving fish. The spool’s concave and ported arbour is a thoughtful design element that provides greater strength, and capacity while reducing weight. This also assists in smoothing out drag pressure and reducing line memory.

Superior Durability and Construction: The Sage SPECTRUM is a fully machined reel, constructed from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium that has been cold forged and tempered for superior strength and rigidity. This robust construction makes the reel extremely durable, ready to handle the rigors of any fly fishing environment. A hard-anodised finish adds an extra layer of protection, providing excellent corrosion resistance for both freshwater and saltwater use.

Versatile and Functional Aesthetics: The reel’s design honours a classic look while incorporating modern features. It has minimal porting for a clean, classic aesthetic, and a machined and anodised aluminium ergonomic handle provides a comfortable and secure grip. An easy conversion from left- to right-hand retrieve adds to its versatility. Available in a range of colours, including Black & Platinum, the SPECTRUM is as visually appealing as it is functional.

Complete with Protection: Each Sage SPECTRUM reel comes with a neoprene and embroidered ballistic nylon reel case, ensuring your investment is protected during transport and storage.

The Sage SPECTRUM Fly Reel is a performance-driven reel designed to cover every fly fishing application, from trout to tarpon. It delivers the features and quality you’d expect from higher-priced reels, making it an incredible value and the perfect choice for any angler who demands versatility and reliability on the water.
