    SAGE SPECTRUM C 7/8 FLY REEL

    The new Sage Spectrum C Fly Reel is attractive, durable, and powerful. Spectrum C reels feature a proven, completely sealed, carbon fiber disc drag system that is smooth and powerful, with the ability to put the brakes on big species like bass, steelhead, bonefish, and salmon. These lightweight reels are beautifully designed, and offer anglers a tough, durable Sage reel at an entry level price. 

    Spectrum C reels use next generation, die-cast technology followed by CNC machining to reduce weight and create a unique, attractive frame and spool. These reels are then powder coated with an advanced polymer to create a 'tough as nails' finish that resists scratches, dents, and saltwater corrosion. An oversized, machined, and anodized one-revolution drag knob makes on the fly drag adjustments easy, and the fully machined, anodized, ergonomic reel handle improves grip and comfort. 

    These reels have a large arbor and concave spool which produces fast line pick up, while increasing strength and backing capacity. Spectrum C reels easily convert from left to right hand retrieve and include a Sage embroidered ballistic nylon reel pouch for safe storage. Sage Spectrum reels are a best performance value and will provide years of flawless performance.

    REEL FEATURES:

    • Powerful, smooth, completely sealed carbon drag system 
    • Large arbor design for faster line pick up
    • Concave spool for greater strength and backing capacity

    • Ergonomic, machined aluminum reel handle

    Very happy with this combo. Also goes well with a scientific angler’s sinking line for streamers. This was my first fly rod but I won’t need to buy a better 8 weight despite it being an entry level rod.

    I bought the 8 weight. It blasts streamers out like a rocket ship. Using for bass set up so gives me more distance and ability to land larger fish. For the money sage built a wonderful combo with quality components!

    Love this 8 weight! Sage provides these foundation setup at a price that won’t break the bank, but they are as smooth as my more expensive setups. This 8 weight is awesome for salmon!

    This combo is a nice backup for my more expensive 8wt set-up. It is my go to set-up for float trips and more remote adventures where i might not want to bring my more expensive outfit.
