Sage Thermo Fly Reel

The Sage THERMO Fly Reel is the definitive big game reel, meticulously engineered for the most demanding saltwater and bluewater challenges. This is not just a reel; it's a powerhouse designed to handle the explosive runs of tuna, marlin, and giant trevally. Built with an ultra-robust SCS drag package, the THERMO is the ultimate tool for anglers who pursue the largest, hardest-fighting fish on the planet.

Ultra-Robust SCS Drag: The core of the THERMO's performance is a new, over-engineered Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag specifically built and tuned for the extreme. It delivers a staggering 0 to 20lbs of drag pressure with unparalleled consistency throughout an entire run, ensuring no drop-off, skipping, or overheating. The extra-large carbon brake discs efficiently dissipate heat, guaranteeing the reel's performance in the most intense battles.

Precision Drag Control: The one-revolution drag knob provides incredible control with 20 easy-to-see drag settings and 39 detents for fine-tuning adjustments. Its large diameter and ergonomic design make it incredibly easy to grip and adjust in the heat of a battle, allowing you to quickly switch between stripping line and fighting a fish without a moment's hesitation.

Built for the Extremes: The THERMO is constructed from fully machined 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium that is cold forged and tempered for superior strength and rigidity. This extra-sturdy frame and spool are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of boat fishing, enduring the knocks on the gunwale and the pounding of heavy seas.

Maximum Capacity and Fast Retrieval: The large arbour design ensures fast line pick-up, which is crucial for staying in control of a fish making a blistering run towards the boat. Its concave, ported arbour not only provides greater strength but also massive backing capacity—500+ yards, ensuring you'll have more than enough line to handle the longest of runs.

Ergonomics and Durability: The reel features a hefty, large diameter ergonomic handle for maximum grip and control. The quick-change spool mechanism allows you to swiftly switch out spools, keeping you in the fight. The entire system is sealed to keep out water, sand, and grit, guaranteeing its reliability in the harshest saltwater environments.

The THERMO Fly Reel is a leader in big game reel performance and reliability. Its unparalleled drag power, robust construction, and ergonomic design make it the ultimate choice for anglers targeting trophy fish where a lifetime of preparation can come down to a single, explosive run.
