NEW! SAGE TROUT 4/5/6 FLY REEL : 4-6WT
New for 2020, the classic full framed Sage Trout Fly Reel. Drawing inspiration from the historic Sage 500 series reels, the Modern Classics collection introduces reels designed for the angler longing for a nod to the past. A romantic appeal to designs and colors that reflect a classic feel of old yet packed with performance features that will assure you’ll never lose that fish of a lifetime.
While honoring our heritage with a full-frame design, narrow profile, and classic styling, the backbone of the TROUT reel is the proven One Revolution, Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag. The heart of the series is the 4/5/6 which will balance perfectly with the majority of all-around trout rods. The 2/3/4 is ideal for small trout rods and the larger 6/7/8 is a great option for bigger trout setups or light salmon/steelhead duty.

Like most reviews, this reel is gorgeous. I’ve had the reel for about 6 months now but has only been fished a handful of times (I live in Florida so I don’t get to trout fish much). Here’s my problem with this reel. Like most, I’m sure your reels have taken a dunk in the River at some point. And this reel did just that in the Farmington. When I checked the reel after being submerged for a few seconds, I noticed the drag was extremely muted on both line going out and line coming in. I didn’t really fret at this point because I have a few nautilus reels that have done that but spring back after stripping some line out or just letting it dry. This reel has gone mute. Since that’s been said, field stripping this reel is a pain. There’s some sort of punch pin that you need to remove to get to the internals. I tried with a pinch with no luck. Most likely this is going back to Sage to have them check it out and be repaired. I understand this is also my fault for dunking the reel but if your wading, eventually it’s going to happen.
