Sage Spey Fly Reel

 

The Sage Spey is designed for the avid two-handed angler. These reels are built to wrangle Steelhead and Salmon on the coast of the western US and beyond. The reel’s intelligent porting increases overall reel weight to better balance Spey rods. Sage has also included state-of-the-art materials for increased durability on the water. Add an SCS drag system and a one-revolution drag knob, and it’s easy to see why Sage is at the top of the Spey reel game.

 

Design

Spey Design - Similar to the Sage Trout Spey reels, the Sage Spey is designed for two-handed Spey rods. The Spey comes in larger sizes to accommodate anglers who are targeting Steelhead and Salmon. Beyond the model changes, however, we see the same features that are present on the Trout Spey reels including an SCS drag system, large arbor design, and durable materials/finishing.

 

Finish

Hard-Anodized Finish - The Spey is finished with a hard anodize to protect the surface of the reel from corrosion and other wear and tear. Anodizing is a popular way to finish reels in the fly fishing industry because of its ability to preserve the integrity of the reel without adding unneeded weight.

 

Materials

Fully Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum - The Spey is fully machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. After the reel is machined, it’s then cold forged and tempered for increased strength and rigidity. Sage used top of the line materials in the production of this reel and its durability and resistance to dings and scrapes is a testament to that.

 

Drag

Type - The Spey functions on the famous Sage SCS (Sealed Carbon System) drag system. The drag is fully sealed and quickly dissipates the kinetic energy from high pressure on the drag system for increased performance and lasting durability.

Materials - The SCS drag system on the Spey combines proprietary high-grade US-made carbon and detailed configurations to accommodate any angling scenario. These materials are extra-rugged for performance when it counts.

 

Arbor Size

Large Arbor - The large arbor of the Spey increases line pickup and helps anglers fight freshwater fish on two-handed rods. The large arbor design of the Spey also increases retrieval rates and allows anglers to gain more line on any freshwater Steelhead or Salmon.

 

Warranty

The Sage Lifetime Warranty - As of January 2021, Every new Sage rod, blank and Sage reel is covered by a lifetime, original owner warranty. One of the finest warranties in the business, it covers defects in materials or workmanship as well as rods that fail due to misuse, negligence, or normal wear-and-tear.
